00:00:38with fellow mobsters that viola must go
00:00:41getting caught on police audiotape he
00:00:44says is a breach of the Mafia’s sacred
00:00:46code of silence
00:00:47omerta but is it cause enough for a
00:00:50death warrant none of us ever thought
00:00:53that it was anything wrong with giving
00:00:56punishment to somebody who violated the
00:00:58rules that he swore to uphold the only
00:01:02caveat to that was that he better have
00:01:05violated those rules and the person that
00:01:07gave the order to eliminate this person
00:01:09better have the proof killing the boss
00:01:12is a big step one that can lead to
00:01:13reprisals still the rank and file are
00:01:16uncertain

00:01:30guess gave the go-ahead in November 1977
