New York, August 2 (ANI): Three weeks after New York Senator Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968, mobster Al "Scarface" Capone's son was overheard drunkenly threatening that then Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy might "get it too", a recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation file on Kennedy has revealed.
According to the file, the threat was made into a payphone in a Miami-area restaurant in 1968.
The revelation guarantees to unravel the conspiracy theories about the mob and the Kennedy family, the New York Daily News reports.
Much like the first half of Ted Kennedy's FBI file, the newly released portion is almost entirely composed of various threats against the youngest Kennedy brother.
The Capone threat is notable because of the persistent theories that the mob had something to do with the 1963 assassination of US President Kennedy.
According to the FBI report, a man overheard 50-year-old Albert Capone, known as Sonny, making a call from a public payphone at a famous restaurant in Coral Gables, the New England Oyster House at about 9:20 p.m. on June 24, 1968.
The listeners told the FBI that Capone had said, "If Edward Kennedy keeps fooling around he was going to get it, too."
Capone identified himself when he asked the operator to bill the call to his Palm Island home and "appeared intoxicated," according to the report.
The FBI alerted the Secret Service and the Miami cops, but does not appear to have investigated the call any further.
By all accounts, Sonny Capone lived an unremarkable and lawful life, working various jobs including as a florist and a tire salesman. (ANI)
