scared….mafia

Ok well, the place I work at there was an ‘incident’ with someone deliberately smashing a table and then telling one of the security guards to f off, when he told him to leave. Now this security person has connections with the mafia in eastern Europe and got the person who was rude to security beaten up a few hours later, nearby.

I was really shocked and scared by this and now am really scared in case the police ask for a statement from me as the initial fight happened where I work and I saw it as did others. I really don’t want to get caught in the middle of this all so if asked by the police did I see anything, should I lie?

Not your average H&R thread but I am really scared about it all.

best not to worry, most people who talk about the russian mafia have no idea about it, i have a cousin with some bad connections and the best way to check is to know that most people in the 'russian' mafia arent actually russian.

I'm sort of both fascinated and shocked.
Is it Goodfellas style mafia?
How do you know its the "mafia" anyway?

for them to call it the mafia shows that they are media driven, the inside name is costa nostra which is used by the sicilian and eastern 'mafias'. it sounds to me like and idle threat

What does costra nostra mean when translated?

I know its part of the Mafia because coincidentally someone was telling me about this person and his connections earlier in the night. Not Italian mind, Eastern Europe as in Albanian.

Whether it was the mafia or not, I am terrified that I am going to be caught up in it all.

I dont want this to sound racist but Albainians arent welcome in il familia, they are seen as the modern day undermenchen and its best to ignore it, nothing will happen.

They'll ask you what happened with the table, but if they ask about the security guard it's best to keep your mouth shut.

Sounds like he got what he deserved coming to him, I bet he thought he was well hard smashing up a table and thought because the law is the way it is, that the security guard couldn't touch him and he could look macho by telling someone doing his job to f off

From the sounds of the story, all you saw was the initial incident and not him getting his retribution later on, so you have nothing to worry about. If it was me I would make a statement to the police detailing exactly what the vandal did to the table and how he treated the security guard, I'd go and tell the security guard as well that I was testifying about the incident to the police so the company could prosecute him for vandalising their property. Off the record I'd also tell the security guard that the law was too soft in this country and I approved of his actions getting the little scrote battered.

It's "Cosa Nostra". And he never said it was Russian or Italian, why're you jumping to conclusions?

for your own safety dn;t say anything,i know it seems selfish but trust me keep it quiet.

hahaha awesome....become good friends with your guard

If I were you I would tell the poplice what I saw and only that. If you heard the guy was beaten up afew hours later but didn't see it happen then you don't need to mention it. All the police will want to know is what you saw so that will be all you need to mention.

Anyways, I wouldn't stress over this, just dont say much to the police if they ask about it.

And it's not slang at all. Cosa nostra = our thing in any part of Italy.
