Let me ask you something. In
Gangsters and Goodfellas Henry Hill mentioned something about how Tommy DeSimone had tried to rape his wife Karen. Now, since Henry wasn't
made, and Tommy was (or assumed he was at the time), did he feel the need to make moves on a non-made men's wife without any consequences?
Ten Commandments
In November 2007 Sicilian police reported discovery of a list of "Ten Commandments" in the hideout of mafia boss Salvatore Lo Piccolo, thought to be guidelines on good, respectful and honourable conduct for a mafioso.
1.No one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.
2.Never look at the wives of friends.
3.Never be seen with cops.
4.Don't go to pubs and clubs.
5.Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty - even if your wife is about to give birth.
6.Appointments must absolutely be respected. (probably refers to formal rank and authority.
7.Wives must be treated with respect.
8.When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
9.Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
OmertÃ
