Barbagian Code
{{no footnotes, date=December 2020 The Barbagian Code can be called a ''code of behavior'' not written that prevailed not only in the Barbagia, the Sardinian historical region referred to, but in all the municipalities of province of Nuoro and Ogliastra, in those of Goceano (province of Sassari) and in some high Oristanese. Features This is a kind of code of honor, similar to a parallel justice, which has sometimes replaced legal organs of the territory. Some scholars believe that behind the creation of the ''Code'' there is the lack of protection of the individual from the state, which in the years in question was not present in the territory. This situation of a stateless motivated the bloody actions of criminal organizations of the 20th century and ruled the wires of the same organization Sardinian Kidnappings Anonima in the 1960s. According to research by Antoinetta Mazzette, professor at the University of Sassari, conducted in 2006 in this area takes place most of the ...

Barbagia
Barbagia (; sc, Barbàgia or ) is a geographical region, geographical, cultural region, cultural and natural region of inner Sardinia, contained for the most part in the province of Nuoro and Ogliastra and located alongside the Gennargentu massif. The name comes from Cicero, who described the land as inhabited by barbarians; Roman domination over this part of the island was in fact never more than nominal as a result of the Roman-Sardinian Wars. This word shares its etymology with the now antiquated ''Barbary''. The Sardinians, many of whose revolts came from this area, were also mocked by the Ancient Rome, ancient Romans with the pejorative term 'thieves wearing rough woolen garments'. In 594, Pope Gregory the Great wrote a letter to Hospito, a Christian whom he calls the "leader of the Barbaricini" (). Hospito apparently permitted the evangelisation of pagan Barbagia by Christian missionaries. The area is usually divided into five Barbagias: the Barbagia of Ollolai, the Bar ...

Anonima Sarda
Anonima sarda (, ; also anonima sequestri) is an Italian journalistic expression widely used by the Italian media as an umbrella to describe the Sardinian groups operating kidnappings for ransom, which took place for the most part in the Mediterranean island of Sardinia between the 1960s and 1997. The expression is misleading as it depicts something like a Sardinian criminal syndicate, similar to the Sicilian mafia, the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta or the Campanian Camorra. Instead, the Sardinian bandits responsible for the kidnappings lacked any kind of command structure, did not exert any influence on political institutions, specialized in basically one criminal activity, and several groups of bandits would operate with little to no relationship with each other. The frequency and severity of kidnappings for ransom operated by the Sardinian bandits became relevant and gained national-level notoriety in the 1960s when they started targeting people on the Italian peninsula and even ...

Sardinian Banditry
Sardinian banditry is a term which describes an outlaw behavior typical of the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, dating back to the Roman Empire. Twentieth-century Sardinian banditry had economic and political overtones. History Eleanor of Arborea, in her '' Carta de Logu'', authorized remedies for banditry. The first kidnapping for ransom resulting from banditry was reported in 1477 in the Baronia of Posada, between Olbia and Siniscola. Banditry was particularly prevalent during Sardinia's Spanish occupation. During the seventeenth century, the regions around Sassari, Nuoro, Goceano and Gallura were centers of outlaw activity. The situation did not change under the rule of the Alpine House of Savoy, and the first measures were introduced to suppress banditry in 1720. On March 13, 1759, regulations for the administration of the justice in the Kingdom of Sardinia were enacted. At that time, smuggling was widespread in some regions of Sardinia, such as Gallura.

Companies' codes of conduct A company code of conduct is a set of rules which is commonly written for employees of a company, which protects the business and informs the employees of the company's expectations. It is appropriate for even the smallest of companies to create a document containing important information on expectations for employees. The document does not need to be complex or have elaborate policies. Failure of an employee to follow a company's code of conduct can have negative consequences. In '' Morgan Stanley v. Skowron'', 989 F. Supp. 2d 356 (S.D.N.Y. 2013), applying New York's faithless servant doctrine, the court held that a hedge fund's employee engaging in insider trading in violation of his company's code of conduct, which also required him to report his misconduct, must repay his employer the full $31 millio ...
