Mafia hierarchy: Sll ranks above associate are "made men", untouchables.
A made man is a rank in the Italian Mafia that signifies a high-ranking member of a crime family, and also means that they cannot be touched unless their boss gives permission for their death. They generally have less tribute to pay to the boss and are more respected than other members. Needless to say, they have to be Sicilians/Neapolitans, not even other groups of Italians, Irish, or any other ethnic group.
