The Mafia’s code of silence, known as omertà, has been a cornerstone of organized crime for decades. However, several high-ranking mobsters have broken this code, turning informants and providing invaluable information to law enforcement. These betrayals have not only led to significant convictions but have also offered a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Mafia. In this video, we explore the stories of notable Mafia informants such as Michael “Mikey Scars” DiLeonardo, Aladena “Jimmy the Weasel” Fratianno, Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski, Abe “Kid Twist” Reles, and Joseph “Joe Cargo” Valachi. We delve into their backgrounds, motivations for cooperating with authorities, and the impact of their testimonies on organized crime.
