What is omerta?
At once no one with any real knowledge of the mafia said anything of the mafia under a rule known as Omerta. Today, new school mafioso's sometimes flaunt their connections, but still follow a semblance of the old rule of silence, Omerta Lite, which is a code of honor that places importance on silence about anything that can get one convicted, non-cooperation with authorities, and non-interference in the illegal actions of others. It differs from Omerta only in that it is not complete silence on the existence of the mafia.
Its not a violation of Omerta Lite to acknowledge that one is connected (to the mafia).

Omerta - definition
Key to the concept of Omerta is that any member of the organization must maintain absolute silence when questioned by law enforcement on the subject of alleged illegal activities by other members of the organization. This can result in one member "taking the fall" for others, facing criminal contempt of court charges or even taking sole responsibility for a crime that others committed. He does this with the assurance that he and his family will be supported by the organization during and after his imprisonment.
