Part 5/8:
Lewis Fanti elaborates on Marcelo’s influence in Louisiana, a state where he allegedly controlled political machinery and could exert power over public officials. He describes Marcelo’s operations that reportedly overshadowed even the gross national income of countries at the time, showcasing the extensive reach and power of the Mafia in the socio-political landscape.
Fanti discusses the tension between Marcelo and the Kennedys, particularly focusing on Robert Kennedy's aggressive pursuit of crime figures during his tenure as Attorney General. He reveals that Bobby Kennedy's vendetta against Marcelo, coupled with Marcelo’s desire to protect his empire against the injustices of deportation, ignited a personal feud that contributed to the circumstances leading to JFK’s assassination.
