The Tampa Crime family existed since the 40s and was run by Santo Trafficante Jr by JFK's time. Carlos Marcello ran New Orleans and Sam Giancana ran Chicago at the time. Those three families worked together on many projects. Only the Chicago Outfit was dealing with the 5 Families on most occasions, while the New Orleans and Tampa crime families dealt with them once in a while. However, Trafficante and Marcello both had a seat on the Commission. There's plenty evidence to support the Mafia having to do with JFK's death and his brother's death. The most compelling is what Trafficante's lawyer told the public a few years ago. He said he was having dinner with Trafficante a few hours after JFK's death and Trafficante was extatic, saying "we finally got that SOB." He also went into details of how they got to him but I need to find those specific details. I'm not sure if this was ever approved by the Commission, because the original gangsters like Luciano, Lansky, Costello and Adonis would have never approved a hit on an official, much less the president. However, JFK unleashed Bobby on the Mafia and they thought the only way to get Bobby off their back was to kill JFK. Without JFK, Bobby was powerless. So yes, it was those 3 crime families along with Jack Rubin and Jimmy Hoffa. I won't say that this is definitely what happened, but I'd say that the evidence is there that the Mafia had something to do with it.
