omerta


key to the concept of omerta is that any member of the organization must maintain absolute silence when questioned by law enforcement on the subject of alleged illegal activities by other members of the organization. this can result in one member “taking the fall” for others, facing criminal contempt of court charges or even taking sole responsibility for a crime that others committed. he does this with the -ssurance that he and his family will be supported by the organization during and after his imprisonment.
they were able to make charges stick on one of them, but he wouldn’t talk — omerta. he did six months, and now he works at tony’s restaurant.
