Elvis: Was He Murdered By The Mob

[Admin]

Bob Ney was bribed by Iran related businessmen

In 2002, the Iranian regime wanted to buy a VIP aircraft for their officials. Restricted by US sanctions, the Iranian Defense Ministry founded a company in Cyprus called Safat Air. Then, the Iranian company signed the purchase contract with London-basedFN Aviation, led by Nigel Winfield and Fouad Al-Zayat.

In order to resolve the US sanctions issue, they needed some help in the US. They hired two Washington lobbyists, Roy Coffee and David Distefano. Coffee "was Deputy Campaign Manager for George W. Bush in his successful 1994 race for Governor. He then served as the Director of State-Federal Relations in the Governor's office for four years." Distefano was Bob Ney's former chief of staff.

Who is Nigel Winfield?

Congressman Bob Ney's guilty plea in a bribery conspiracy scheme last month stemmed in part from his dealings with a Broward ex-convict who did prison time for swindling Elvis Presley, and later worked as a paid mob snitch for the FBI.

Nigel Winfield of Plantation, is an airplane broker, former fixed-based operator at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and thrice convicted felon.

Winfield also drew attention in 1982 when a federal judge in Memphis, Tenn., sentenced him to six months in prison for attempting to defraud singer Elvis Presley. Winfield and three other men were accused of buying Presley`s private luxury jet in 1976, leasing it back to the singer and then billing him $338,000 for repairs and improvements they never made.

Winfield, who is now a federal fugitive, has been identified by police as an associate of Sam ``The Plumber`` Decavalcante`s Mafia family in New Jersey.

Winfield has been rumoured to have been involved with Jack Leibolt.

Leibolt was involved in the narcotics-smuggling operations of Pablo Escobar-Gaviria and the Medellin cartel.

Leibolt, according to a sweeping 1989 indictment of Escobar, once piloted a plane for the cartel and, in September of 1979, supplied the group with six silencer equipped machine guns. He pled guilty in August of 1990 to conspiracy to import cocaine.

Joe Esposito is a veteran author and publisher, who along with his long-time business partner Daniel Lombardy, have several best selling books to their credit. Esposito is best known for his association with Elvis Presley.

"I knew the Accardo Family" Esposito said of the Chicago-based gangster, best known as Al Capone's chauffeur, allegedly one of the gunmen at the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre. "Elvis was always intrigued with the Mafia."

One day when Elvis returned from a trip to Hawaii, there were some businessmen waiting for him. He met with them privately for a while, and later he nervously told me about it. He didn't tell me what they had said, but he let me know what their visit meant.

"Larry, this is a dangerous universe," he said ominously. "It's dangerous. No matter who you are, the higher you are, the more dangerous it is. In the twenties and the thirties the gangs would mow you down in the streets, or they'd dump your body in the river. Now those people are in legitimate business. They're businessmen, they run corporations. They own the great things of America, so they go about things in a different way now."

"Why do you think Sam Cooke is dead?" he asked me. "Everyone thinks he was murdered in a motel. Oh, he was murdered, all right. He was murdered because he got out of line. I got it from the horse's mouth. Cooke was told that he had a big mouth, to stay in line, and he didn't do it."

Suzanna Leigh:

I was asleep in London when Elvis died — having returned to Britain in the Seventies. In the years that followed, I continued my career in England. Then, in 2003, I put my connection with Elvis to use by going to work as a VIP tour guide at Graceland.

It was there that I first heard rumours from people on the estate that Elvis had been murdered. And when I went to the library to find out more, I discovered that many reputable people believed his death — from apparent heart failure, compounded by drug abuse — was not straightforward.

One book pointed the finger at Elvis’s doctor, ‘Nick’ Nichopoulos, who prescribed scores of pills for his hypochondriac patient, although it’s hard to believe he would kill his paymaster.

The most interesting theory was by British journalist John Parker, who claimed there was a Mafia connection.

Then there’s the fact that the post-mortem report will not be available until 2027. Why would the Federal Bureau of Investigation lock documents away if there was nothing to hide?

I soon learned Elvis had in fact been part of one of the largest FBI investigations of the Seventies, codenamed Fountain Pen. Apparently, he had been the innocent victim in a Mafia fraud case involving billions of dollars.

Scores of federal agents worldwide had investigated it, and Elvis was due to give evidence. The FBI was meant to be protecting Elvis when he died.

Despite this, Elvis’s death has never been officially investigated.

Vernon, Elvis’s father, always believed his son was murdered.
