Italian MAFI: The Holy Rules, Codes, and Orders

The mafia is a popular term in the world to define criminal organisations. The Mafia has a long tradition and history.

According to urban legend, the word” M AFIA” was first used during the Sicilian revolt against French rulers on March 30, 1282. To resist this invasion, an organization was created in Sicily called “The Alla Francia Italy Ibrahimx3> meant “Death for France, Italy calls for”.

The first letters of the wording of this organization have made up the name Mafia. However, this theory is rejected by many modern - day historians.

Others point out that the word mafia comes from the Arabic word “mahias”, which means courage or a brave man.

Other authors also think that the mafia comes from the other Arabic word “mufas”, which means taking care of, protecting family members, clan members, disciplining them, taking them under control, etc.

In the Sicilano-Italian dictionary of 1868, the mafia is explained as a neology which means manifestation of bravery and courage, while in the dictionary published in 1876 it is presented as synonymous with gang-organism or secret group organized for certain purposes.

Building

Italian mafia, but other mafias also do not have a simple organisational structure, but it is an association made up of a large number of so-called clan groups or families.

Every family is led by the Chief, or Boss, or so-called Don, who rules as dictator.

Depending on the family, Don is selected in different forms. Don takes percentages from the profits of all family members.

The chief is the second order in the family, usually appointed by the Don of the family. He's responsible for all Capot who are under Don's command. In the event of Don's arrest or death, the chief chief is first on the list to assume his position until he is absent or forever.

Consigliere or Councillor is the person who advises the family and is also known as Don's right-hand man. They are used as mediators in discussions and family representatives at meetings with other families. For Councilman, Donny appoints someone he trusts most.

Caporegime or Capo is responsible for groups of soldiers who report directly to him. Each group usually consists of 10 to 20 soldiers.

The captain is appointed by Don or Subhead and reports to them. They may be given assignments as murder and recruiting. If a Kapo becomes powerful enough, he can pass his superiors. He can take Donny's place if the previous Don dies.

Soldato, or soldier, is a member of the family, and according to tradition he should be Italian or at least Italian on his father's side. At the same time when a member is of “made” he is intact that, before a soldier is killed, he must speak to the Army's Capon or Don. When a country is released in the Kapot family, it can propose a new member. They're called “Created people” that the epithets get by committing a murder at the order of the superiors. Be made of d.m. It's just the beginning, but not the outcome of the Mafia career.

Associates or companions are not family members, and the companion's role is similar to that of the man commanded. Usually, they're non - Italians who never go further than that. They do work to help family members or to be people with whom the family is active. In other cases, corrupt businessmen and union representatives are also a companion.

Start ritual

All mobsters to become full members of the Mafia must go through a ritual. It cools into a “fest”. He is sent to a room in which many Mafia sit at a table with a gun, a knife, and a photograph of a saint. They ask him about his dedication and his feelings about crime and murder. When you confirm everything, Donny takes a needle and makes a hole in the person's finger. The person is stained with blood from the finger with the picture of the saint, which he holds in his arms collected until Don burns it. Donny then says: "If you betray the Mafia, your flesh will burn like this saint”."

Presentation

A mobster shouldn't introduce himself to another mobster. That's what a third mobster who's known by both mobsters has to do.

Omerta-Codi of Silence

Omerta is the code of silence that prevents the Mafia from betraying their partners to the authorities. The penalty for treason is the death of the traitor and his family.

10 The Holy Orders
