Mafia expert Valentina Tenti testified at the Charbonneau commission,about the Ten Commandments of the Cosa Nostra were discovered in a document seized during a police raid in Italy in 2007.

1. I swear to be faithful to the Cosa Nostra. If I  betray my flesh must burn — as this image burns.
Rights and Duties
2. No one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.
3. Never look at the wives of friends.
4. Never be seen with cops.
5. Don’t go to pubs and clubs.
6. Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty — even if your wife is about to give birth.
7. Appointments must absolutely be respected.
8. Wives must be treated with respect.
9. When asked for any information the answer must be the truth.
10. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
Individuals who cannot be part of the Cosa Nostra
Anyone who has a close relative in the police.
Anyone with a two-timing relative in the family.
Anyone who behaves badly and doesn’t hold to moral values.

I have a few questions : Which one of the ten gets broken the most often by mafia members? Has there been any mafia members ,mentioned in any documents you have read, that have had an affair with another members wife ? Thirdly, what do you think about the comment, you cannot be made if you have a two timing relative in the family ?

Dictionary :
-To be unfaithful to (a spouse or lover)
-to deceive someone you are having a relationship with by having a secret sexual relationship with someone else at the same time.

What is funny about this is that probably most members in organized crime two time on their spouses given the fact that they're profiting from prostitution or have investments in strip clubs or other.

Pennisi also recently mentioned a rule that i 've never heard before. He said that made guys whose father has been killed by the Mob can't become boss because they can use their power to avenge their father.

So guys like Bruno Indelicato (Bonnano), Vito Guzzo (Colombo) and his brother Anthony Guzzo (Lucchese) could never be Bosses of their respective family.

The story is about another so-called Mafia expert Valentina Tenti making silly claims. Maybe in 18th century Italy they had rules such as "You can't go to pubs or clubs" but let's get realistic. Number 4 is not possible. As for family members in the place, that has not been possible in America since about the 1950s. Most of the other rules are well known since Valachi testified, and for the most part are followed, Since these are so known for so long, why did the Charbonneau Commission waste time on this? My guess is they are like those political commissions set up in the United States to make it seem like our politicians are doing things.

Today this most applies to "don't be flashy in clubs/pubs, don't spend too much money etc". This does not apply to Camorra, they have these kids going to clubs spending a lot of cash to attract attention.I remember there was a case in Calabria few years ago , son of 'Ndrangheta boss got exiled to Milan because he was flashy in clubs/pubs, they even wanted to kill him but didn't out of respect for his father, i can't remember the name right now , maybe Hollander can.

Thanks for the explanation.

When he was a young soldier, Tommaso Buscetta was shelved by his family because he was having too many affairs. They thought it reflects badly on the family so they shelved him for some time and told him to stop fooling around.

This 10 Commandments is ridicolous!
Some mobsters have relatives in the police,the high ranking members have affairs with other mobsters wives,mobsters steal family money only that mow are shelved and not killed as before.
Maybe in Sicily in 1950s this list could be followed but Buscetta was shelved because had a wife and many lovers.
Today every mobsters break any of this rules and nothing happens.

I know who you mean I have to look it up.

In the 1970s Vincenzo Macrì, nephew and designated heir of Antonio Macrì, boss of the 'ndrina of Siderno (in Calabria), was "laid down"-that is, banned from the organization-because his behavior did not conform to that of a good 'Ndranghetista (member of the 'Ndrangheta). Vincenzo rode around on a Vespa, went out in a T-shirt and shorts, and was ultimately replaced. Even today a 'Ndranghetista must rigorously respect certain parameters: He must not be a playboy, and he must be careful not to cause trouble, avoiding fights and stupid stunts. In other words, he must not attract unnecessary attention.
