[learn_more caption=”Ten Commandments of the Mafia (2004)” state=”open”]

During a 2007 raid on Salvatore Lo Piccolo, the reputed new boss of the Sicilian Mafia in Italy, police made an astonishing discovery: a list of the Mafia’s most sacred laws, a cherished code of conduct for the Mob… In this Discovery documentary, former Mobsters speak out about the rules that govern their criminal world; and reveal what happened when gangland began to question the so-called ‘Ten Commandments of the Mafia‘….

“Prohibitions include frequenting bars and looking at friends’ wives, while members are urged to treat their own wives with respect… The list was found during the arrest of Salvatore Lo Piccolo, the reputed new boss of the Sicilian Mafia… It is thought to have been drawn up as a “guide to being a good mobster”… Other activites apparently beyond the pale for Mafiosi are being friends with the police, being late for appointments and “appropriating money if it belongs to other Mafia members or to other families”…” BBC
