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 u-u'4 ,_. '. 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 AL. .7 BOSSELLI. In 1936, he had forged documents entered and false entries made in the birth records of the City of A 7-V!.'_.f"{92 I ' 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. - If;"r. -~1-5" 92 . 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 VI "I ; evidence to prove convictls identity and had to call many witnesses fro various cities throughout the United States. Err 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 i testimony of witnesses before the Grand Jury be furnished to 92-In the defense but the trial Judge denied the request. £,. '5 On December 2, 1968, convict was convicted in U. S.

' E 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 Z35" - F - :1 . . 1 xr 1 -w F we 01-I BISSELL also speculated that underworld figures were I 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, ROBERTA. t . 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 to poison CASTRO because I felt we were involved in a just war". MAHEU told reporters that he .._-A had recruited ROSELLI and GIANCANA in 1960 at the suggestion of two CIA officials. MAHEU said he was also approached on 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 I. 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 E1 he knew about was a scheme to poison CASTRO that0'CONNELL discussed at a series of meetings at Miami'sFontainebleau Hotel in early 1961. ROSELLI was to deliver poison ,/ capsules to one of CASTRO's cooksor domestics, who would be in a position to administer them if the CIA gave us the 'go'signal". MAHEU said that 0'CONNELL *4 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. 3%- 5&7 l 9| F5 92-S17 av-Q ,96 ' ROSELLI-CIA CUBAN ASSOCIATIONAND _1=-Ijqnz. gismoASSASSINATION pio'r_§_ An Interim Report of the Select Coumittee to Study Governmental Operations with respect to Intelli- gence Activities, United States Senate, together with P 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 --mu 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 case officer sincethe agent;first beganusing HAHEU's ! services and by 1960, t ey had become close personal friends.

ROSELLI testified that HAHEU had told him that "high government officials" needed his cooperation in getting rid of CASTRO and that he asked him to help recruit Cubans to do the job.

The Support Chief said he was introduced to ROSELLI as a business associate of HAHEU. He said HAHEU told IGSELLJ that HAHEU represented international business interests which were pooling money to pay for the assassination of CASTRO. It was arranged that ROSELLI would go to Florida and recruit Cubans for the operation. During the week of September 2h, 1960, the Support Chief, HAHEU and ROSELLI met in Miami to work out the details of the operation.

ROSELLI and the Support Chief testified that the Cuban official who was to have made the attempt on CASTRO got "cold feet". ROSELLI was certain that only one attempt to assassinate CASTRO was made prior to the Bay of Pigs. It was possible that only one prsehay of Pigs attempt was made against CASTRO and that a Cuban exile leader wee the contact in the United State; the ' arranged for a Cuban close to CASTRO to administer the poison. ROSELLI told the support Chief that TRAF?I- CANTE believed a certain leading figure in the Cuban exile movement might he able to accolplish the assassi- nation.

A different version of the delivery of the pills to the Cuban was offered to the Senate Committee by JOSEPH SHIHON, a friend of ROSELLI and GIANCAHA who testified that he was present when the passage occurred. According to SHIMON, he, GIANCANA, ROSELLI and MAHBU shared a suite in the Fontainebleau Hotel. At that time MAHEU stated he had "contracted" to assassinate CASTRO and had been preeidee with a'liqnid" by the CIA tn accomplish the task. SHIHDN said the Cuban was con- l 4 tacted outside the Boom Boom Room of the Fontainebleau Hotel and that when IOSELLI left with the Cuban, HAHEU said "JO!NNY's going to handle everything; this is JOHNNY's contract".

The attempt wet with failure. A '92 In late 1961, the operation was transferred to WILLIAM HARVEY of the CIA who was assigned the responsi ./ bility for establishing a general capability within the CIA for disabling foreign leaders. The Support Chief introduced HARVEY to ROSELLI in Miami, where HARVEY ._.__ told ROSELLI to maintain his Cuban contacts but not to deal with HAHEU or GIANCANA. At a meeting in New York in April, 1962, four poison pills were given to the Support Chief to pass them on to HARVEY. HARVEY arrived L13 -w Q,--.-. -,,_ » C 1 ,1 .619 in Miami on or about April 21, 1962, and gave the pills to ROSELLI. ROSELLI kept HARVEY informed of the opera- tion's progressand notified him sometime in 1962 that the pills and gus had arrived in Cuba. He told HARVEY in June, 1962, that the Cuban had dispatched a three-man teem to Cuba. HARVEY then met ROSELLI in Miami in Septemher, 1962, where EARYEY was told that the pill: were still safe in Cuba. HARVEY testified that he had lg. doubts that the operation would ever take place and so informed ROSELLI. Thereafter, HARVEY terminated the operation in mid-Pebruary, 1963. At a meeting with ROSELLI in Loo Angelee it was agreed IOSELLI would taper off his communication with the Cuban. ROSELLI testi- fied that he simply broke off contact with the Cuban. Agency personnel who dealt with ROSELLI attrib- uted his motivation to patriotism and testified that he {- wee not paid for his services. in The CIA'sinvolvement with ROSELLI caused the agency some difficulty during ROSELLI'ssubsequent prosecution for fraudulent gambling activity and living in the country uder an assumed name. % . r .
