"Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (41 USC 2107 Hote).

DATE ; 11-14-2017

CG 92-373

On February 27, 1976, CG 9561-CTE advised SA FRANK

J. FORD that JOSEPHI AIUPPA (JOEY O'BRIEN) is considered to

be the current head of the ICN in the Chicago area.

CG 9561-

CTE advised that ALEX had made an effort to retire several

years ago, but was informed by AIUPPA and others that he was

too important a figure in the daily operations of the LCN,

and therefore could forget "retirement period"

CG 9561-CTE described ALEX as being a shrewed business

operator, who has made considerable money for the ICN. ALEX

has numerous connections in City Hall and on the near north

side oI chicago, and is still a source of income for the ICN.

CG 9561-CTE advised the ICN is currently more dependent on

their Las Vegas investments than ever before and for this

reason the ICN has insisted that ALEX supervise their operation

in the Las Vegas area.

CG 9561-CTE advised that ALEX has not been known to

Whatever business needs

to be accomplished in Las Vegas is done by TONY SPILOTRO and

others, who are issued instructions from someone in Chicago.

On March 16, 1976, CG 9561-CTE advised SA FORD that

believed to be very much involved in the receiving and

dispersion of money obtained through skimming in Las Vegas.

CG 9561-CTE stated that SIDNEY KORSHAK continues to be responsi-

ble for the skimming activities for the Chicago IN.

9561-CTE advised that even when ALEX was spending

time in Florida during the winter it became necessary for

ALEX to return to Chicago on several occasions, and always

around the first of the month. By coincidence

KORSHAK and ALEX

met in the Chicago area about the first of the month.

CG 9561-CTE is of the belief that the monies trans-

ported from Las Vegas to Chicago are carried by a courier, but

arranged for by KORSHAK and ALEX.
