* (by extension, offensive, derogatory, ethnic slur) a Sicilian

#### Usage notes

* The wording of Article 416-bis of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure does not leave much room for interpretation on the definition of what is considered "mafioso". The provision concludes that criminal offences not included in the term "mafia" and "mafioso" must be considered in the same criminal provision. This is why, in light of the prohibition of analogical criminal interpretation, the terms "mafia" and "mafioso" have not been considered as including criminal concepts linked to the "Camorra, the 'Ndrangheta and other associations, however locally named, including foreign ones"; which is why the legislator of 2010 deemed the addendum necessary, therefore considering, by abduction, the definition as a geographically and/or ethnically exculpatory one.
