Chapter Eleven
Cuban Love Song:
Meyer Lansky, the Mafia, the CIA and
the Mossad and the Castro Assassination Plots
Three top "Mafia" figures—Sam Giancana and Johnny
Rosselli of Chicago and Santo Trafficante, Jr. o f Tampa—
were key figures in the CIA-Mob plots against Fidel Castro and
often linked to the JFK assassination.
Although the three Italian-American gangsters were major
mob players, evidence shows they also were—like Carlos Marcello—
subordinates of Meyer Lansky.
Amazing new evidence demonstrates Giancana (and
Rosselli) were actively collaborating with the Mossad,
essentially mere 'front men" for Meyer Lansky's little-known
Chicago partner-in-crime, Mossad-connected Hyman Larner,
the real 'boss" of the mob in the Windy City.
Carlos Marcello is not the only major "Mafia" figure whose
connections with Organized Crime syndicate boss Meyer Lansky have been
ignored by Lansky's friendly biographer Robert Lacey. The legendary
Johnny Rosselli is never mentioned either. Was neither Marcello nor
Rosselli worth mentioning?
Were they really that insignificant? Not according to standard accounts
of Organized Crime history. Both Marcello and Rosselli have particular
prominence in the annals of criminal folklore, especially in relation to the
Kennedy assassination.
It is quite significant that Lacey has chosen to delete Rosselli from his
account of Lansky's life:
Rosselli was a major figure in Organized Crime in Los Angeles,
where Lansky's longtime associate Ben Siegel—and Siegel's successor as
Lansky's West Coast operative, Mickey Cohen—represented Lansky's
interests.
Rosselli was a major figure in Organized Crime in Las Vegas, where
Lansky maintained major gambling operations. He was Chicago Mafia boss
Sam Giancana's primary representative there;
Rosselli was a major figure in Organized Crime in Havana,
representing the interests of the Chicago Mafia, where Lansky also
dominated gambling operations.
By all standard accounts, Rosselli was very much a key figure in the
modern "Mafia" as we know it.
In short, while Marcello's activities were based almost entirely in his
Gulf Coast fiefdom (and extending into Texas), Rosselli operated as almost a
roving ambassador for the Italian wing of Organized Crime (popularly
called "the Mafia."), primarily the Chicago branch.
