The Central Intelligence Agency recently advised
of a contact Roselli made with Colonel Sheffield Edwards,
former Director of Security, now retired. Roselli, a
member of the Chicago "family" of La Cosa Nostra who
represents their interests in Las Vegas and on the west
coast, was contacted by Agents of the Los Angeles Division
shortly before this and they apparently touched a sensitive
spot. Colonel Edwards, who obviously contacted Roselli in
the past, thought he looked worried and distraught. The
contact by our Los Angeles Agents flushed Roselli out and
he went to the Central Intelligence Agency for protection.
Central Intelligence Agency, in the past, compromised them-
selves by dealing with Roselli when they had him contact
Sam Giancana, head of the Chicago "family of La Cosa Nostra,.to get someone to assassinate Castro:!?§i/LA!J
Los Angeles Agents recently selected Roselli as a -

Roselli, but not in the presence of an attorney. Shortly
after the contact was made with Roselli, he suddenly departed
Los Angeles, as now determined from Central Intelli en eAgency, to secretly make contact with that agency{%%§6Bg!
ACTION:
This matter will be followed with the Central
Intelligence Agency through the Liaison Section. The
Los Angeles Office will be advised of Rosellis contact
with Central Intelligence Agency so they can capitalize
on his inner turnmoil to develop him as a top echelon
criminal informant regardin his vast knowledge of theChicago La Cosa Nostra.2E5!¬tt!

JOHN ROSELLI
ANTI-RACKETEERIIG575/
On lay 23, 1968, John Roselli was convicted after a
Jury trial in United States District Court, Les Angeles,
California, on six counts charging his, as Filippo Sacco, with
failure to register as an alien and failure to advise the
Attorney General of his changes of address for the years 1963
through 1967.
John Roselli is
Sam Giancanas éhicago La
lieutenant of Al Capone.the west coast representative of
Cosa iostra family. He is i ferser
Roselli was convicted in the infamous
Bioff-Browne case and was sentenced to prison for ten years in
1944 for plotting the extortion of millions from film producers
and a studio union. He has been a lifelong companion and _
representative of such hoodlum figures as Prank Costello,
A1 Capone, Hurray Humphreys and others. 3 g
Ti
Extensive investigation by this Bureau into the
activities of this hoodlum developed evidence that Eoselli sis
actually horn in Italy as Iilippo Sacco and had forged birth
records indicating his birth as John Boselli in Chicago; Illinois.
Roselli's trial lasted an entire month. Boselli aditted
his identity as Sacco but in his defense contended he had
derivative citizenship based on the marriage of his mother to a
naturalized United States citizen. Iith information we had
obtained at Boston, Iassachusetts, and in Italy, this purported
marriage was proved to he higaaous ind invilid ind is such did **
pass derivative citizenship to Boselli. ' _
John Roselli has also been indicted on seven counts
pertaining to his interstate gambling activities as a result of
our investigation into extensive cheating at the plush;
iars Club. .at,_,,Beverly Hills, .California,., .!!e is scheduled toto trial on these additional charges in oarliliune, 1968.

NOTE: The Los Angeles Office has conducted an extensive
investigation into the activities of La Cesa Hestra hood
John Roselli. John Roselli is a notorious member of the
hoodlum hierarchy, a former lieutenant of A1 Caponq,who was
convicted in the extortion case involving Bioff-Browne in 1944.
In an investigation, evidence was produced that he is actually
Filippo Sacco, born in Italy. He never acquired United States
citizenship. In 1933 he adopted the identity of John Roselli
and forged birth records in Chicago. We have investigated his
activities also with relation to the Friars Club cheating at
Beverly Hills, Calif. We indicted him for failure to register
as an alien and notify the Attorney General of changes of address
After a trial lasting an entire month and involving expedite
investigation in Boston and in Italy to disprove a surprise
phony claim of derivative citizenship, Roselli was convicted
on all six counts. This is a substantial blow at an important
member of the La Cosa Nostra Empire, and the Attorney General
is being advised of his conviction.

Aggravating or Mitigating Circumstances:
Convict, born in Italy, was brought to the United
States by his mother when he was six years old. He never
acquired United States citizenship either by derivation or
naturalization.
In 1922, convict, under name PHILIP SACCO, was
arrested in Boston, Massachusetts on a charge of selling
heroin and in 1923» also in Boston, on a charge of larceny.
He was released on bond in both cases. In 1923, prior to
trial of either case, he fled from Boston and came to
Los Angeles, California,-where he assumed the name JOHN
BOSSELLI. In 1936, he had forged documents entered and
false entries made in the birth records of the City of
Chicago, Illinois to reflect that he, as JOHN ROSSELLI. was
born in that city. Through the period from 192M to 1967,
convict madeevery effort to hide his true identity, his
family and background and his alien status.
Convict did not admit until after the return of
the jury's verdict that he was, in fact, FILIPPO SACCO.
Several witnesses who could have furnished infornmtion
that JOHN ROSSELLI was FILIPPO SACCO refused to testify at
his trial because of fear of severe reprisal by the convict.
Consequently, the Government was forced to rely on circustantial
evidence to prove convictls identity and had to call many
witnesses fro various cities throughout the United States.
Subsequent to convict's conviction, information was
received that convict, with others, had conspired and had
obtained, through the payment of money, transcripts of the
secret testimony of witnesses who had appeared before the
Federal Grand Jury which returned the indictment and had these
transcripts at the time of the trial. During the trial,
convict's attorney requested that the transcripts of the
testimony of witnesses before the Grand Jury be furnished to
the defense but the trial Judge denied the request.
On December 2, 1968, convict was convicted in U. S.
District Court, Central District of California, Los Angeles,
California, on six counts of Conspiracy, Interstate Transportation

well-known LCN figure, left his sisteris residence in Plantation,
Florida, in her automobile and did not return for a considerable
amount of time, which alarmed the sister. She felt he may have
met with foul play and notified Rosel1i's attorney.
On '1/30/'16, Joseph Daigle located the car driven by Roselli -
in a parking garage at Miami International Airport.
Attorney David Walters, Miami, Florida, Roselli's attorney,
notified our Miami office that Roselli appeared to be missing and
stated he was notifying the FBI because of R.ose11i's pending

SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE DIVISION
_ August 10, 1976
In response to inquiry by the Bureau, our
Los Angies Office has furnished a summary that would
provide logical motives which may have contributed
to the death of John Roselli, prominent West Coast
La Cosa Nostra LCN! figure.
John Roselli was active in California and
Las Vegas in handling affairs for the Chicago LCN
family. Roselli, in the 1940's, was convicted for
the extortion of individuals in the movie industry
and was sentenced to 10 years. The primary witness
in this matter was killed as a result of a bombing
of his automobile.
In the late 1960's, Roselli was convicted for
entering this country illegally. He was sentenced
to 11 months in custody of the Attorney General.
At the same time, he was convicted in a conspiracy
to violate the ITAR - Gambling Statute. This involved
a scheme using electronic devices to cheat at the
famous Beverly Hills Friars Club. He was sentenced
in this case to four years custody of the Attorney
General. Because of his alien status, deportation
proceedings were brought against him by the INS.
He was ordered deported, but this could not be
effected because no country could be located who
nu-92n"l A an-92nnq'un In-in»
In May, 1970, Roselli was called as a witness
before the FGJ, Los Angeles, dealing with the hidden
ownership of the Frontier Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Roselli was granted immunity and testified before
this FGJ.He was quoted by newspapers as saying,
"I'm doing my best to cooperate. I just hope I'm
doing the right thing." Subsequent to this, Detroit
convicted in the Frontier

PREDICATION FOR INVESTIGATION7g" _ e * _1_"*_"**n-In I
Investigation in this case is predicated on .
the instructions set forth in the following memorandu
from the Attorney General:
"To: Director Date: August 13, 1976
Federal Bureau of Investigation £HL:RLT:WSL:ajm
From: The Attorney General 123-13-265
Subject: §ohn_§9§elli Homicide
"I have been advised by Senators DANIEL INOUYE
and HOWARD BAKER, Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively,
of the Select Comittee on Intelligence, that JOHN ROSELLI
gave testimony before that Committee, on three occasions,
relating to matters being investigated under its authority.
I am further advised that Hr. ROSELLI, on several occasions
expressed fear for his life as a result of his having
testified. Mr. ROSELLI's testimony has been made available
for review.
"I understand that the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation has in the past worked successfully with Hr. E.
WILSON PURDY, Director of the Bade County Public Safety
Department, on matters of joint Federal-State interest,
and that the Bureau, in the interest of sound and effective
cooperative law enforcement, is presently actively engaged
in assisting Hr. PURDY's office in the ROSELLI homicide
investigation. This assistance is certainly desirable and
should include whatever resources the Bureau is prepared to
allocate thereto.
"In addition, however, in view of the substance
and circumstances of his testimony as well as Mr. ROSELLI's
expressed fears, I believe that appropriate investigation

should be udertaken by the Bureau in an attempt to deter-
mine whether Mr. ROSELLI's homicide was related in such a
way to his testimony before the Select Committee as to bring
it within the prescriptions of the relevant Federal criminal
statutes, particularly Title 18, United States Code, Section
1505. This investigation should in no way, however, hamper
or interfere with the Dede County homicide investigation,
nor with the assistance the Bureau is rendering therein,
and should be conducted insofar as possible in cooperation
and coordination with the appropriate Dade County officials.
"You are requested to undertake immediately the
investigation as described above and advise the Criminal
Division on a regular basis."

"Alleged underworld figure JOHNNY RQSSELLI was ordered

it was revealed in court deal with secret 'skimming' of gambling
proceeds by hidden interests in Las Vegas casinos.
"The nature of the inquiry became known for the first
time when ROSSELLI who had been granted immunity from prosecu-
tion to testify, was returned to court for balking at certain
questions. ROSSELLI, 65, stopped answering when the questioning
turned tothe subject of a meeting at the office of attorney
JAMES P. CANTILLON with FRANK LA PORTE, alleged Chicago mafia
figure.
"'Who was present with you when you and FRANK LA PORTE
met at CANTILLON's office?', he was asked.
"ROSSELLI complained he was being set up for a perjury
charge and refused to answer any more questions. A record of
the proceedings read for U.S. District Judge JESSE W. CURTIS
revealed.
"Other questions he refused to answer were How was
the meeting arranged?'. Did you converse with FRANK LA PORTE
at any other location?'.
"Also read was a statement by Assistant U.S. Attorney

It included possible violations of Federal law
involving the holding of hidden interests in Les Vegas casinos
and hotels and interstate travel for the removal of skim or

"CANTILLON representing ROSSELLI charged that it was
not a legitimate inquiry.
"He said an affidavit by U.S. Attorney MATT BYRNE
in support of the grant of immunity stated that ROSSELLI had
certain knowledge which would be of aid to the Grand Jury.
"'Then they proceed to cross examine him, to elicit
from him some testimony which they can subsequently use as a
basis for perjury CANTILLON alleged.
"'I think they were surprised when he started to
testify. It is apparent this is not a legitimate inquiry.
"CANTILLON challenged the government to release the
entire transcript of the testimony, which he said would bear out
his contentions.
"NISSEN said CANTILLON was speaking from ignorance
rather than knowledge but he offered to let Judge CURTIS read
privately a transcript of ROSSELLI's first day of testimony
May 1.
"Judge CURTIS retired to his chambers to do so and
emrged an hour later with the order that ROSSELLI must answer
the questions. '
"The Judge said the Grand Jury appears to be making
an investigation in an area it is entitled to probe, and the
scope of the inquiry is legitimate.
"However, he admonished NISSEN that some of the
questions asked of ROSSELLI appeared to deal with his own
culpability and no other person's. He cautioned the prosecutor
to be more carefui.

The "Los Angeles Times" for July 10, 1971, contained
the following item:
"Millionaire developer MAURICE H. FRIEDMAN has been
threatened with death in prison because of testimony he gave
the government agei underworld figures, it was reported
Friday.
"FRIEDMAN was described in Federal court as one of
the hey witnesses against six men in a oorporation charged with
a scheme to hide ownership of the Frontier Hotel gambling casino
in Las Vegas.
"FRIEDMAN is serving Federal prison terms for his
role in the Friar's Club card cheating case and related offenses.
He also is named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the hidden
ownership case.
"At a hearing on pretrial motions before visiting
U.S. District Judge GUS J. SOLOMON or Portland the threat on
FRIEDMANs life was disclosed reluctantly by Assistant U.S.
Attorney HORNBECK. HORNBECK said FRIEDMAN was one of four or
five witnesses whose testimony before a Grand Jury should not""
be released to the defense at this time for fear of reprisals.
"Pressed for explanation as to how a person in Federal

ROSELLI-CIA CUBAN ASSOCIATION AND
FIDBL CASTRQ AS§ASSIN§IIQ§mgEQTS_
According to press items appearing in the
"Los Angeles Times and the "New York Times", JOHN
ROSELLI on June 2A, 1975, appeared before the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence, Washington, D.C.,
which was chaired by Senator FRANK CHURCH. At the
time, according to the press items, ROSELLI testified
that he had been contacted by the Central Intelligence
Agency CIA! through ROBERT HAHEU in i attempt to
assassinate Premier CASTRO of Cuba.
According to the "Los Angeles Times", on
July 30, 1975, RICHARD M. BISSELL, a former Chief of
Clandestine Services for the CIA, testified before the
CHURCH committee that he personally had approved the
CIA cooperation with "mafia" figures to assassinate
Cuban Premier CASTRO in 1960. BISSELL, when questioned
by reporters, said arrangements with the mafia had been
handled by the office of the late Colonel SHEFFIELD
EDWARDS through ROBERT A. MAHEU. Colonel SHEFFIELD
EDWARDS was the CIA's Director of Security. BISSELL
told reporters that Colonel EDQARDS had arranged the
highly secret cooperation with underworld figures SAM
CIANCANA and JOH ROSELLI, but that he, BISSELL, had
approved it. '
BISSELL said that the arrangements with the
mafia began "in the last half of 1960" and might have
been suggested to the CIA by GIANCANA or other mafia
figures because "they did have very large interests in
Cuba that were totally eclipsed or destroyed by CASTRO

BISSELL also speculated that underworld figures were
seeking to build up credit with the U.S. Governent
against possible Federal prosecution in the future.
According to the "Les Angeles Times" and "Los
Angeles Herald Examiner" on July 31, 1975, ROBERT A.
MAHEU testified before the CHURCH committee on July 30,
1975. Following his two days of testimony behind closed
doors, he told reporters that he once helped the CIA
develop plans
involved in a
had recruited
suggestion of
approached onto poison CASTRO because I felt we were
just war". MAHEU told reporters that he
ROSELLI and GIANCANA in 1960 at the
two CIA officials. MAHEU said he was also
the CASTRO matter in 1960 by JAMS J.
O'CONNELL, a CIA supervisor who had previously served
as his contact. MAHEU told reporters that O'CONNELL
asked him to contact JOHN ROSELLI in Los Angeles and
asked ROSELLI if he would assist the CIA in a program
for removing CASTRO. HAHEU told reporters that ROSELLI
was reluctant to p3It1C1p8t8 but later agreed to help
"when I explained this would be on behalf of his govern-
ment, unpleasant as it may sound". HAHEU told reporters
that the value of ROSELLI and GIANCANA was their contacts
and sources of information in Havana where they pre-
viously had interests in lucrative gambling casinos
closed down by CASTRO. HAHEU said the assassination plan
he knew about was a scheme to poison CASTRO that 0'CONNELL
discussed at a series of meetings at Miami's Fontainebleau
Hotel in early 1961. ROSELLI was to deliver poison
capsules to one of CASTRO's cooks or domestics, who
would be in aposition to administer them if the CIA
gave us the 'go' signal". MAHEU said that 0'CONNELL
showed him the capsule in a white envelope and stated
that as far as he knew, the CIA never gave the "go"
signal. MAHEU said that after the CIA sponsored the
Bay of Pigs Invasion in April of 1961, he phased out his
cooperation with the CIA.

An Interim Report of the Select Coumittee to
Study Governmental Operations with respect to Intelli-
gence Activities, United States Senate, together with
additional supplemental and separate views, report
number 94-l+65, stated, in part, with reference to JOHN
ROSELLI, in August, 1970, the Central Intelligence Agency
CIA! took steps to enlist members of the criminal
underworld with gambling syndicate contacts to aid in
assassinating CASTRO. Colonel SHEFFIELD EDWARDS, CIA
Director of the Office of Securitg,and the CIA Suport
Chief decided to rely on RCBERT A. HAHEU to recruit
someone "tough enough to handle the job". The CIA
operation Support Chief had served as HAHEU@s caseofficer since the agent; first began using HAHEU's
services and by 1960, t ey had become close personal
friends. Sometime in late August or early September,
1960, the Support Chief approached HAHEU about the pro-
posed operation. HAHEU recalled that the Support Chief
asked him to contact JOHN ROSELLI, an uderworld figure
with possible gambling connections in Las Vegas, to I
determine if he would participate in a plan to dispose
of CASTRO. The Support Chief on the other hand said
that it was HAHEU who raised the idea of using ROSELLI.
. HAHEU had known ROSELLI since the late 1950's.
He claimed not to have been aware of the extent of
ROS£LLI's uderworld connections and activities, but he
recalled thatit iii certainli evident to iiY that he

According to ROSELLI, he and HAHBU met at the
