最初は中世の遺物として面白いなあ、などと思っていたのですが、ウィキペディアのリンク先をいくつか読んでいたら、気味が悪くなってきました。

He isn't alone. There are an estimated 2,800 Albanian families living in self-imposed isolation, trying to avoid becoming victims of blood vengeance. In the years since the collapse of communism,

面積は四国の1.5倍、人口300万人程度の小国で、2800家族というのは大変な割合ですね。

In 1991, Kapsari, a carpenter, was standing in line for eggs. Two young men began pushing him and trying to take his place. Kapsari stood his ground, but says that after he left the store, the two men attacked him with knives and iron bars. Kapsari describes what happened next: "The two young men fled. One of them was on a bicycle, and he crashed into an electric power pylon and died on the spot. When I saw he was dead I went straight to the police."
Kapsari was jailed during each of the three investigations into the young man's death. But after authorities pronounced him innocent for the third and final time, the dead man's family posted a $15,000 bounty on his life, insisting he should be killed on the principle of "blood for blood." Kapsari says he likewise turned to the kanun for guidance.
"After I was released from jail, I decided to proceed according to the kanun of Lek Dukagjini. I went to church and swore before the priest that I was innocent. The father of the dead man then said he wanted to forgive me but that his wife and surviving children wouldn't let him. They said, 'As long as you're alive, we will try to kill you.'"
無実であることが公的に証明された人でも狙われ、賞金稼ぎの殺し屋もオッケーとは。

In Japan's feudal past the Samurai class upheld the honor of their family, clan, or their lord by katakiuchi (敵討ち), or revenge killings. These killings could also involve the relatives of an offender. While some vendettas were punished by the government, such as that of the 47 Ronin, others were given official permission with specific targets.

日本の説明はレベルが低すぎますね。

『貨幣システムの世界史<非対称性>をよむ』(岩波書店,2003)の黒田明伸氏が太鼓判を押しているのであれば、
相当信頼できると判断してよいのでしょうね。
