As a whole, the Mafia’s assassination desires weren’t focused on Kennedy as much as with Fidel Castro. Castro’s revolution in Cuba forced the Mafia and their vested interests out of the country. This, along with the disdain for Robert Kennedy, seemed to fuel the Mafia’s rage and motive to kill the President.
