Mafia Code of Silence (Omertà)

Omertà is a cultural code of silence tied to Mafia organizations, emphasizing loyalty and secrecy. It requires members to refuse cooperating with authorities or outsiders, even in the face of danger or legal pressure. This silence protects the group’s operations and maintains its power, fostering trust among members while discouraging betrayal. Omertà is a cornerstone of Mafia culture, helping to sustain criminal activities by preventing information leaks and preserving the organization's unity and influence within communities.
