Pena believed Oswald had an office in the same government complex. Oswald, he claimed, frequented a breakfast place regularly not only with de Brueys but with agents from U.S. He had given details to the Warren Commission in July 1964 but, as the new document shows, later revealed much more detail about Warren de Brueys, an FBI agent in New Orleans to whom Pena said he reported. How did he know? Because Pena himself was an informant, he said. According to Pena, a bar owner in New Orleans, Lee Harvey Oswald was a U.S. 15 was the transcript of a 1978 interview by the House Select Committee on Assassinations with Orest Pena.

In addition, several new documents discuss the CIA and its work with mobsters to prevent Fidel Castro’s rise to power in Cuba and later oust him.Īnother revelatory JFK document released in full on Dec. A 1992 biography written by Giancana’s family said the mob boss had told his younger brother that Cain and Nicoloetti, not Oswald, were in the Texas Book Depository from where shots at Kennedy were fired.
The November tranche of new documents does include some about Giancana’s courier, a former Chicago cop who went by the alias Richard Cain and met in Mexico City with CIA staff he was also an informant for the FBI. “Do you really think they haven’t deep-sixed the incriminating files?” Dankbaar asked in a testy telephone interview. He’s a Dutch national with a website and videos devoted to debunking what he considers a myth - that Oswald killed Kennedy or that he acted alone - and promoting the view that Files assassinated Kennedy. The CIA and FBI documents released so far say nothing about Files or another assassin he allegedly worked with named Charles Nicoletti, but that’s no surprise to Wim Dankbaar. Files was released from prison in 2016 after a long stint for attempted murder. Many historians dismiss Files’ claims, but Shelton maintains that Files was indeed an assassin and was part of the Cosa Nostra mob organization headed in Chicago by Salvatore “Sam the Cigar” Giancana. That tip to Shelton launched a chain of events that led to Files confessing from prison in Illinois that he was one of several gunmen in Dallas on the fateful day, and that he fired from the famous grassy knoll. In the process of helping bust a contraband ring involving an alleged mafia hitman named James Files, Shelton was told that Files had curious things to say about the Kennedy killing roughly 20 years earlier. Shelton, now 67 and retired in Beaumont, Texas, was an FBI agent in Chicago combating organized crime in the 1980s. “I think the investigation or focus is going to be turned more into Oswald not being the lone wolf.”
“That shows why Dallas was the place,” said Zack Shelton, a retired veteran FBI agent who fervently disbelieves that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman.
