Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 USC 3107 Hote). DATE: 11-14-2017 . Rae . we - Se a a : ‘ ae . . ua N Cy PH 92-2402 On 3/17/69 informant said he brought up in conversation with SCAFIDI the fact that there had been some news in.the paper that CARL CIVELLA, along with some others, had been arrested or in trouble in Miami, Fla. Turning the conversation to CIVELLA, he asked JOSEPH SCAFIDI whether or -not CIVELLA was going to replace VITO GENOVESE (deceased) as the head of VITO GENOVESE's family, LCN, as well as being made a member of the Commission LCN. Infor- mant said that SCAFIDI told him that Philadelphia underboss IGNATIUS DENARO said when SCAFIDI last talked to him that CARL CIVELLA was. going to be a member of the commission. SCAFIDI, however, indicated to the source that he did not know whether or not CIVELLA would head VITO GENOVESE's family of LCN. Informant said that this verified in his mind that it was "definite" that CIVELLA was going to be a member of the Commission LCN. Informant could develop no additional ' information as to whether or not CIVELLA had his own LCN family or whether or not he was connected with the VITO GENOVESE family in any way, and pointed out SCAFIDI had previously told the source he did not know CIVELLA personally but had only heard of him. It is pointed out to interested offices that PH 672-C-TE has been reliable LCN member source for over five, years; and accordingly, the above information is considered reliable by the Philadelphia Office. Consideration can be given, however, to the fact that Philadelphia undérboss IGNATIUS DENARO could be mistaken as to identities. Kansas City and New York should consider contacting logical sources. to ascertain if CIVELLA is in fact being piaced on the Commission LCN. Philadelphia will remain alert to develop any additional information in this regard. Docld: 32308971 Page 3
