Omerta, the code of silence when dealing with the government. It literally means" manhood "and refers to the idea of a man with his own problems without the help of a legal, but the term has also become synonymous with the Mafia code of silence. Omerta is a very popular place of farming in the south as Sicily, where the Mafia is strong.

It all began in Sicily in the 16th Century AD as a way against the Spanish rule. Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and as such influence in many countries to conquer and to conquer, and then the immense wealth. The local people were often enslaved by the conquering party and were often inhumane treatment of foreign overlords. The Mafia was born is such circumstances and provided the oppressed Sicilian people with protection, stability and a kind of "pride." The Mafia is "Vendetta" was Sicily the judiciary, and nobody in the decision for a job help.

The continuous invasions from the Sicilians with feeling of helplessness, mistrust and anger on the government. They believed that the government was there not to help them, but to make things even more difficult. As a result, the Mafia, the golden rule of Omerta was born. It was an unwritten law to the government of their private affairs. Crime began as a personal and justice was through personal vengeance and vendetta, not by the decision of the government.

If the code of Omerta to be in words, it would say something like the following: --
"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Who can not take care of himself without police protection. It is cowardly to betray an offender to justice, even if its violations against itself, since it is not about revenge for an injury by violence. It is dastardly and contemptible in a wounded man to betray the names of the perpetrators, because if he wins, he must naturally expect that the revenge. A wounded man shall say to his attackers: If I live, I will kill you - If I die you are forgiven. ""

The allegation that an informant was the worst possible stain on the manhood. Each individual was obliged to his masculinity, not by invoking legal authority for the compensation of personal discomfort. A victim person is expected to revenge the wrong-doing or even a few patrons, which it for him. It is shameful, even betrayed the worst and most dangerous enemies to the authorities. Breaking the code of Omerta in serious cases specially if Mafia is concerned can lead to the assassination of the informant by the Mafia.
