Omertà

• giuliomagnifico 5y ago
  Italian here, I thought it was a link to Italian Wikipedia =) now I know that "omertà" is a universal word. Thank you(and italian mafia... /s ) Omertà is still alive and not only in italy unfortunaly, but now lots more people are denouncing the mafiosi who ask for "pizzo" (you know what is?), and the omertà is shading. The new omertà now is for big players/companies who are making illicit traffics and theirs managers don't tell this to police because they're getting consistenst bribes. In the north of italy and anywhere in the world.
