The La Cosa Nostra is an Italian word which means “This thing of ours”. It’s the American version of the Sicilian Mafia. A family or Familglia is a unit of Cosa Nostra that is comprised of ‘made men’ from 20 to 300 persons, supervised by a Boss. To gain importance in family, one needs to be the strongest earner. The more one excels as an enforcer and shows enthusiasm in work, the importance goes up. A good enforcer’s future is bright and lined with plenty of mistresses. La Cosa Nostra, or the LCN as it is known by the FBI, consists of different “families” or groups that are generally arranged geographically and engaged in significant and organized racketeering activity. The LCN is most active in the New York metropolitan area, parts of New Jersey, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, and New England. It has members in other major cities and is involved in international crimes.
Here is a glimpse into reality: La Cosa Nostra is governed by 10 laws or “commandments”. All members must abide by them.
No one can present himself directly to another of their friends. There must be a third person to do it.
Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty- even if their wives are about to give birth.
Never look at the wives of friends.
Wives must be treated with respect.
Never be seen with cops.
Appointments must absolutely be respected.
Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
Don’t go to pubs and clubs.
When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
