In questa lezione si affrontano i temi relativi a quei rituali che costituiscono l’identità mafiosa di Cosa Nostra, le sue modalità di ramificazione e radicamento nel territorio, gli sviluppi e i guadagni del consenso interno ed esterno. La prova dell’insediamento di Cosa Nostra, si identifica in un decalogo trovato nel covo del boss Salvatore Lo Piccolo: dieci dettami da seguire per far parte dell’organizzazione criminale.

Nascono così i suoi codici, le sue regole dal portare rispetto alla moglie al non frequentare taverne e circoli, col tempo i mafiosi si sono riconosciuti in queste norme etiche che tramandano un retaggio del linguaggio criminoso proprio dell’organizzazione, facendone soprattutto un insegnamento per chi vuole farne parte.

Senza il consenso, spiega l'allora Procuratore Nazionale Antimafia Pietro Grasso, la mafia non esiste. Per conservare il proprio potere, Cosa Nostra ha sempre avuto la necessità di allargare il suo richiamo identitario. Per la mafia non esistono le istituzioni, laddove queste non sono in grado di ristabilire l’ordine, i mafiosi si fanno giustizia da soli. Pensare che Cosa Nostra potesse sostituirsi allo Stato, fu un colpo per il giovane magistrato, Pietro Grasso.

This lesson addresses the themes related to the rituals that constitute the mafia identity of Cosa Nostra, its ways of branching out and establishing itself in the territory, its developments and gaining internal and external consensus. Evidence of the Cosa Nostra's establishment is identified in a Decalogue found in the lair of boss Salvatore Lo Piccolo: ten dictates to follow to join the criminal organization.

This is how its codes were born, its rules, from showing respect to one's wife to not frequenting taverns and clubs. Over time, mafiosi have come to identify with these ethical norms, which pass on a legacy of the organization's criminal language, making them above all a lesson for those who wish to join.

Without consent, explains the then National Anti-Mafia Prosecutor Pietro Grasso, the mafia does not exist. To maintain its power, Cosa Nostra has always needed to broaden its identity. Institutions do not exist for the mafia; where these are unable to restore order, the mafiosi take justice into their own hands. The thought that.

00:12My name is Pietro Grasso and I grew up in Palermo, an important city for the choices
00:19of my life.
00:22Since 2005 I have been the national anti-mafia prosecutor, so I have moved from the trenches of the prosecution
00:30from Palermo to the headquarters in Rome, where news arrives from all fronts, they are studied
00:37the trends and new activities of the mafia, the necessary techniques and strategies are developed
00:44to fight it.
01:04Today we will analyze one of the elements underlying mafia power: consensus.
01:11The consensus is that together with violence and intimidation it constitutes a fundamental element
01:19which gives a particular characteristic to this mafia organization.
01:27Violence is certainly part of its heritage, its tools of action, of intimidation,
01:38but certainly consensus, especially external consensus, is what gives the mafia its strength.
01:48In addition to external consensus, we will talk about internal consensus, which is also very strong, and we will talk about that
01:56which is the way, the method of the mafia-like search for consensus by this organization
02:05towards citizens.
02:11The mafia is an organization that is absolutely different from the others precisely because it is founded
02:19its power also over popular consensus.
02:24I remember an episode that happened in the vuciria market in the 70s, when a dancer
02:34A Slovak psychotherapist who worked in one of the city's nightclubs was scarred on the face.
02:42Investigations begin and the police arrest a fellow countryman who is the dancer's boyfriend, hypothesizing
02:51a motive of jealousy, but after a week a phone call arrives at 113 in Palermo.
02:59There's a Fiat 127 parked behind the Agip motel. There's a package for you.
03:08The police went to the scene, opened the trunk, and found a young man tied up with his feet
03:18tied around their necks and with a sign that said, I'm the one who cut
03:27the dancer's face. Worms like me deserve this end because they dishonor Sicily.
03:37In essence the mafia had carried out an investigation, had found the culprit, had issued
03:44an immediate, unappealable sentence had freed an innocent man from prison because immediately
03:52The dancer's boyfriend was released. In short, in a nutshell, the mafia had done
04:00justice and had sent a terrifying message. Justice is done by the mafia and order is something
04:08ours. Think of a young man who has just entered the judiciary like me, what pressure, what anger he did something
04:18like that, to think that these men could administer justice in our place, in place of the State.
04:27Who thinks of the mafia?
04:29Well, the mafia is needed too.
04:31Why?
04:32Because when the State is not in a position to defend the citizen, the citizen defends himself.
04:38The mafia also tries to gain consensus through protection, through a system
04:47which seeks to ensure public order. And finally, the mafia also manages to provide jobs,
04:55Not only criminal work, but also so-called honest work. An episode comes to mind.
05:02which I caught while I was questioning a justice collaborator and during a break
05:07I asked him during the interrogation, "But in your opinion, when will the Mafia end?" And he, how do they do it?
05:17these mafiosi, he didn't give me a date, but he started telling me a story, almost
05:24a parable. He told me, you see, while I was a fugitive, a boy came to visit me.
05:30He was 28 years old. He was a young man with no criminal record. He told me that he had a little girl who was crying all over.
05:42That night he was hungry, because he didn't even have money to buy milk. And he asked me,
05:50Can you help me? I had a builder who worked for me, so I wrote him a note,
06:00a note demanding that he hire that boy. Naturally, under the table, without any contributions.
06:10social security, insurance, accident insurance, and none of the above. But after a week
06:17The boy came back to me. Thank you, he said. The little girl is full now and sleeps peacefully.
06:25with a rosy complexion. What can I do for you? At that point I asked him for his documents.
06:34With those documents I could have purchased a car in that boy's name. I would have
06:41I could rent an apartment where I could set up my hideout. In short, that boy
06:50With that act he had become the abettor of a very dangerous fugitive and was at risk
06:56a sentence of up to five years. What did I say to the mafioso? Yes, fine, but she still doesn't
07:01He replied: "No, Doctor. As long as that boy comes to us and not to you, the mafia will never end."
07:13We have seen that the mafia tries to replace the State in its essential aims, but the mafia
07:20It also has a language that it tries to exploit and smuggle as something that makes it pass
07:32for an organization that wants and does what's best for its citizens and its clients. Think about the use
07:42of words like family, the basic structure of the organization, or friendship, friend
07:51friends, respect, a respectable man, honor, a man of honor. These are all concepts.
07:58which appear to be values, but in reality are the result of mafia ignorance.
08:06No one in this entire street saw these three men who shot at the prosecutor.
08:12Scaglione? No? Is it possible that no one saw it?
08:21The mafia is not just about belonging, but also about sharing a system.
08:26Let us be careful that not only those who suffer violence are victims of the mafia, but also those who
08:33he turns away and pretends not to see, who indulges in resignation and indifference,
08:43because even like this you can die of the mafia.
08:51But how does one enter Cosa Nostra? The initiation rite has something ritualistic that brings it closer.
09:01to a religious practice, to a sacrament such as baptism, confirmation. Everything starts from the fact
09:10that after years of observation the candidate is made to enter a council where there are the
09:20family members and the godfather, the one who introduces him, the one who guarantees for him,
09:29he pricks the index finger of the shooting hand, with a needle or in some countries with the
09:42plug
09:43of a bitter orange. The blood flowing out is dripped onto a holy card, the holy card
09:54of the Madonna dell'Annunziata, protector of Cosa Nostra, or sometimes the patron saint of the town
10:03which corresponds to the family's territory. The symbolic value of blood is notable,
10:11it's like a rebirth, like a new form of kinship that is acquired by cancelling out
10:20with the new blood, that of the previous blood. And as in the continuation of the rite the
10:32holy water and holds it while it burns in his hands, pronouncing the fateful oath, may
10:40I will burn like this little saint the moment I betray Cosa Nostra.
10:48You enter Cosa Nostra with blood and you leave with blood.
11:06With initiation one acquires this status of man of honor which lasts a lifetime and which
11:14according to many collaborators of justice he made an impression, he had a great influence because
11:21they thought they were entering a sort of criminal elite but also an elite that
11:29He launched them on a social level. On November 5, 2007, after the raid on Salvatore's hideout
11:39Lopiccolo, a handwritten list was found, in an uncertain Italian, therefore
11:48We're not sure if it's the original. Some people talked about a sort of Bible that has long been
11:56searched for and never found. Several collaborators had told us about some ceremonies in which
12:04these commandments were pronounced. It is worth rereading and listening to these again
12:11rules because even a criminal organization needs rules and perhaps these very rules
12:18they offer the possibility of explaining the centuries-old presence of these phenomena in our country.
12:27Commandment number one, you cannot introduce yourself alone to another friend of ours unless he is a third party.
12:33to do so. It is clear that this is to maintain the secrecy of the organization, precisely because
12:40No one can say or put on a badge I am from Cosa Nostra and therefore we introduce ourselves,
12:48but a third party is needed who knows both the statuses of membership in Cosa Nostra and who invites them
12:55shaking hands while pronouncing the phrase is the same thing. Commandment number two, do not look at each other.
13:03the wives of our friends, by our friends we obviously mean men of honour, do not look at each other
13:11the wives and the repentant Calderone explicitly warned those who entered Cosa
13:18Ours and he often told you that you can be hosted by another man of honor because he protects you
13:26in hiding. Be careful not to even look up, to pay some attention
13:34to the house gifts, to the wife, to the daughters because something like that can cause your death in a way
13:44unavoidable. One cannot betray hospitality by harassing the wives of a man of honor.
13:54Commandment number three, you don't get compared with the cops. The rule is that even for the
14:03in the case of baptism or confirmation, it is not possible to have as godfather a representative of the forces
14:12of the order, a carabiniere, a policeman. And it is evident because clearly there is a duty
14:20of the policeman to report certain things that conflict with the secrets of Cosa Nostra.
14:26You can't bring into your family from the outside a person who isn't completely trustworthy.
14:34Commandment number four, do not frequent taverns or clubs. The concept is that
14:41the mafioso must avoid being betrayed by alcohol because in vino veritas is that truth
14:50which Cosa Nostra instead wants to keep secret in its coffers. Commandment number five,
14:56one has the duty to be available to Cosa Nostra at any time even if one's wife
15:02She's about to give birth. It happened to me, while questioning a collaborator of justice, who told me
15:09that this very situation had happened to him. In the sense that he had accompanied his wife
15:15to give birth in the hospital and he received a message that he absolutely had to leave her
15:20to go and commit a murder. And he had to do it. He came back when the child was
15:26already born.
15:27Commandment number six: Appointments must be strictly respected. It's not a question of
15:33punctuality, absolutely. If you are asked for an appointment, you must speak to them personally.
15:39of Cosa Nostra. And if you don't show up to the appointment, it means you're afraid of something. Usually, many appointments
15:49they ended with the elimination of the opponents because a sentence of
15:57death. This is demonstrated by the fact that a collaborator like Cangemi was called to go to an appointment
16:06he went to the first police station to collaborate because he knew it wouldn't be
16:12came back from that appointment and if he hadn't gone the effect would have been absolutely
16:17The same. Commandment number seven, one must show respect to one's wife. What
16:24Ours has always sought to protect and enhance sexual ethics. The wife should not be touched,
16:34The wife has the same status as the man of honor. Therefore, she must be respected. This does not mean,
16:40as we discovered during the investigations, that several bosses also had some escapades
16:46conjugal. Some of these people died, were killed taking advantage of this
16:53his weakness.
16:54Commandment number eight, when you are called to know something you must tell the truth because
17:01The truth is fundamental in Cosa Nostra's affairs. Lies are paid for, but of course
17:07this, look carefully, is only in the things of ours, that is, when we talk about business,
17:15when talking about elected offices, when talking about the behavior of other men of honor
17:21or things like that are referred to. Commandment number nine, you cannot appropriate money
17:26that belong to others or to other families. Calderone tells a very important story in this regard.
17:35nice, in the sense that one of these affiliates, one of these candidates to join Cosa Nostra,
17:41when he felt that coming from a criminal activity as a robber he could no longer steal,
17:49So he thought, what can I do? No, no, look, let's stop everything, I can't come in.
17:54in Cosa Nostra, because he had been told not to steal. At which point someone his godfather
18:01did he approach him? Stay calm, then we'll explain to you what it means not to steal, in the sense that
18:10You shouldn't take other honorable men's things, but that doesn't mean you can't
18:18outside Cosa Nostra, to enrich oneself, to appropriate other people's things and above all
18:25of citizens' things, of citizens' assets.
18:30Finally, anyone who doesn't care about moral values ​​cannot join Cosa Nostra. We are careful,
18:36the moral values ​​for Cosa Nostra are not to argue among people, not to take offence,
18:42who has sentimental betrayals in the family, and yes, unfortunately the horns in the family are not
18:50both a sign of dishonor, but of an inability to maintain fidelity within the family.
19:00This is what Cosa Nostra means, these are the values ​​it defends and these commandments it offers us.
19:09precisely the starting point for better understanding Cosa Nostra.
19:17Cosa Nostra, while maintaining its rules and traditions, adapts to social evolution,
19:26economic, with substantial continuity and this is the strength of the organization.
19:32Today it uses globalization, it uses technologies, it expands more and more beyond the territory
19:42in other markets and in doing so comes into contact with other realities, with other criminal networks
19:51and we will also study these evolutions, these passages.
19:58In the meantime, it is enough for us to be able to focus on these concepts that Cosa Nostra is not just violence,
20:09It's not just fear, it's not just intimidation, but it's trying to capture people, taking them away
20:17to the State, to also obtain for citizens through an approval of the system, a
20:27sharing of the system naturally interested in obtaining those advantages which then make
20:34the strength of exchange with citizens and with politics.
20:39Today civil society is making great strides, it is increasingly taking sides
20:46part of the State and the mafia understands that it is losing power and we find it documented
20:56in a very famous wiretap between two mafiosi who are talking to each other
21:04Locri, in Calabria, thought to be 1997.
21:10Totò, be careful because when the people go against you, you lose what you have done.
21:17in 30 years.
21:19You lose it because if they take the people from you, then the cops and the magistrates will take you.
21:28Loss of consensus is what mafiosi fear most.
21:37Today we have to choose which side we're on, and without consensus the mafia no longer exists.
21:59Today we have to choose which side we're on, and without consensus the mafia no longer exists.
22:32Today we have to choose which side we're on, and without consensus the mafia no longer exists.
22:38Today we have to choose which side we're on, and without consensus the mafia no longer exists.
