The Men Who Ruled New York’s Mafia | American Godfathers: The Five Families
For decades, the Five Families thrived behind a wall of secrecy known as Omertà, the Mafia's sacred code of silence. But in 1963, one man changed everything. When Genovese soldier Joseph Valachi broke Omertà and testified before the U.S. Senate, he exposed the inner workings of Cosa Nostra to the world for the first time. Suddenly, the Mafia's secret rituals, hierarchy, murders, and leadership structure were no longer hidden.
