Did the Mafia hit JFK?

56 years later, no one is still certain that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating John F. Kennedy, USA’s 35th president. Mostly because of the Cosa Nostra’s entanglement with the matter. 

The Cosa Nostra believed that JFK was indebted to them, after helping him win the election that got him to the White House. As president, JFK appointed his younger brother Robert Kennedy as Attorney General- and he was ardently resolute upon destroying the underworld.

Taking on investigations of organized crime with unorthodox savvy and street smarts, paired with J. Edgar Hoover, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Bobby (affectionately called Booby by Jimmy Hoffa) Kennedy shook the nests of the untouchable Cosa Nostra, with his progress in obtaining intelligence skyrocketing to highly menacing threats. 

One of Bobby’s most notorious catches was Carlos Marcello, the Mob boss of New Orleans. He found out that the mafioso never applied for a citizenship, and soon he was on a plane back to Guatemala City. 

“You see, the Cosa Nostra. The other day they made me become frightened. They know our business better than us. They know the heads of the families, the capodecina, the FBI does. Therefore, that’s why, the other day, I say be careful before you open your mouth. Because sometime, somebody could be a spy and you might think he is an amico nostro.” 

- Steffano Magaddino, Buffalo borgata boss; Joe Bonanno’s cousin. 

Edward Becker, public relations officer in the underworld, once quoted that Marcello claimed to get his revenge on Bobby Kennedy for deporting him. Aside from that, the attorney general was already getting all up in other important figures’ nerves, and many were out to hit him even if he was an honest official, who, technically, in mafia principles, was immune to being hit. 

“The dog will keep biting you if you cut off its tail, but that if the dog’s head is cut off, the dog would die.” 

- Carlos Marcello in Becker’s paraphrasing, putting JFK as the dog and Bobby being the tail. 

Marcello allegedly told Becker that getting rid of JFK would certainly eliminate Bobby from the picture, which posed a more secure outcome than getting rid of Bobby only- for JFK, he said, would come at them with the “Army and the Marines.” 

Aside from Carlos Marcello, the Senate Select Committee identified Santo Trafficante Jr., boss of Tampa and the American mafioso of Cuba as a personage most likely to have been behind JFK’s assassination. 

Santo Trafficante Jr. and his lawyer, Frank Ragano

Santo Trafficante Jr. stayed in Cuba despite Fidel Castro’s reign, thinking he could keep the casino doors open by bribing the new government. However, Castro wasn’t at all welcoming to his businesses, and even threatened to execute him. 

Taking advantage of this steam, the Central Intelligence Agency got Trafficante in on a plot to kill Castro. The poison plot failed and no one knows what happened to the $150 000 CIA money for the operation. Trafficante testified for the JFK assassination, but he professed himself clueless about this kill-Castro scheme. Sam Giancana was also going to be interrogated, as a name in the scheme, but he was killed prior to this appointment, as well as John Roselli, who vanished after meeting up with Trafficante. Giancana was shot through the mouth, and Roselli was mutilated- in mafia language, that was because they broke omerta, (the code of silence) or were going to. 

Almost two decades after the investigation on the assassination was pulled to a dead end, Frank Ragano, Trafficante, Marcello and Hoffa’s lawyer, stepped up with long-hidden information about the underworld’s possible influence on the matter with his autobiography, Mob Lawyer.

“That rat bastard, son of a bitch. We broke our balls for him and gave him the election and he gets his brother to hound us to death.” 

- Sam Giancana referring to John F. Kennedy, as Ragano heard him at a dinner. 

Ragano claimed that he heard Giancana’s unloving remarks of the Kennedys, as well as Trafficante’s rants about the president keeping Castro in his seat. The mob lawyer also stated that Jimmy Hoffa ordered him to convey an urgent order to Trafficante and Marcello. To “kill that son of a bitch John Kennedy.” 

Although the lawyer thought it was an annoyed joke, he told the two bosses the demand. On the very day that JFK was shot, Hoffa called Ragano and asked if he heard “the good news”. 

Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in 1975, twelve years after that moment, after having Ragano by his legal team throughout Bobby’s chase for him. This was four years after being commuted by President Richard M. Nixon on his thirteen-year prison term. 

Trafficante once told Ragano that Hoffa was alarming the Cosa Nostra by declaring that he was going to write a book revealing all of what he knew about the Mob.

He was hit by Anthony Provenzano, a New Jersey teamsters’ union head in the same year of his disappearance.  

Jimmy Hoffa

Sometime during March of 1987, twenty-four years after JFK’s assassination, a sick Trafficante requested for Ragano to drive him along Bayshore Boulevard, Tampa. The mob boss had kidneys under dialysis and was about to get his second open-heart surgery. He vented to the lawyer about Marcello and what “they did” to Giovanni, his nickname for John F. Kennedy. 

“Goddamn Bobby, I think Carlos fucked up getting rid of Giovanni. Maybe it should have been Bobby. We shouldn’t have killed Giovanni. We should have killed Bobby.” 

- seventy-two-year-old Santo Trafficante Jr., as Ragano narrated.

In less than four years, Bobby was able to indict 116 made men in the underworld, including Jimmy Hoffa. The ex-attorney general was struck by a bullet during a presidential election campaign in Los Angeles, one that he was undoubtedly going to win. 

After JFK’s death, the government ceased down on their chase, especially after Robert Kennedy’s resignation. The attorney general after him, Ramsey Clark, got rid of the unconstitutional bugs that provided them intelligence from the underworld. With all this fire extinguished, the bosses kicked back at ease again. 

JFK’s death was a colossal victory for the underworld, whether they were behind it or not.
