Mobster Trafficante Denies Role in Kennedy Plot
Santos Trafficante testifies before the House Assassinations Committee denying involvement in the Kennedy assassination. The witness recalls John Roselli as source of the plot linking CIA efforts against Castro and a doomed bid to target Castro with Mafia ties. Roselli, murdered in 1976, exposed the tale before his death and amid Mafia lore, authorities suspect foul play. Trafficante states no knowledge of Castro retaliation or publication links, while the committee references Anderson’s column from 1976.
