A Шаблон:Lang (literally 'head of ten',[1] also called caporegime in the American Mafia) is the head of a Шаблон:Lang, a branch within a Sicilian Mafia family. In the larger families, a Шаблон:Lang is selected by the head of the family and coordinates units of about ten people.[2]

Mafia members are organized under the supervision of a Шаблон:Lang who reports to the Шаблон:Lang, the head of the Mafia family or cosca. The term derives from Шаблон:Lang ('ten'), suggesting that each would be in charge of ten men.[3] The term was mentioned as early as the 1880s in Sicily to describe the organisation of the Fratellanza, a Mafia-type organisation in Agrigento, in the south of Sicily.[4]

The Mafioso Melchiorre Allegra spoke of a Шаблон:Lang in his 1937 testimony. He said a family split into groups of ten men each when it became unmanageably large.[4][5]
