CIA Mafia Spies Plot To Kill Castro Hidden From JFK Probe
Mobsters Hit Tony Soprano Style Before They Can Testify







By Robert Riggs



The JFK assassination files recently released by President Trump shed more light on the secret plot by the CIA to use Mafia gangsters to kill Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.



Investigative reporter Thomas Maier, the author of Mafia Spies, his book about the unlikely alliance between the CIA and mobsters, is back to discuss the latest revelations.



This is the second part of my True Crime Reporter® series about the Mafia Spies.



Two Chicago gangsters, Sam Giancana and Johnny Roselli, were central to a Congressional investigation by Senator Frank Church in the mid-1970s 



Both were murdered shortly before they could testify.



I was an investigator for another committee working on a related inquiry at the time. 



The mob-style hit sent a chill through Senators digging into CIA abuses.



Speculation continues about whether the CIA or a Mafia kingpin silenced the mobsters.



Maier and I discuss the murders and revelations from his new book, “The Invisible Spy.”



His dogged investigation uncovered how former CIA Director Allen Dulles steered the Warren Commission’s investigation of President Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas away from the plot to kill Castro.



Here's a link to the cast of characters.
