Michael Franzese, a former Colombo crime family captain, says Robert F. Kennedy directed the FBI to target his father, John “Sonny” Franzese, after a claim involving Marilyn Monroe. Franzese alleges that Monroe called out his father’s name, prompting RFK to “weaponize” law enforcement against him. In the accounts, Franzese specifically states that RFK ordered FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to pursue his father. The reports describe the allegation as part of Franzese’s public comments, including an appearance on “Hang Out with Sean Hannity,” and a separate retelling by the New York Post.
Both outlets present the claim as Franzese’s account and do not cite independent supporting evidence within the summaries provided. The reports therefore focus on what Franzese alleges rather than on confirmation of details about the FBI’s actions or RFK’s involvement.
