There is no evidence to link the mafia with Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who shot Kennedy. Oswald was known to dislike minorities, including Italians which means he would not likely have cooperated with them in any case, much less killed the President for them.

They don't know much about the assassination, but they know they don't like the Mafia, so the Mafia must have done it. In actual fact, of course, Oswald is not known to have had any connection with them at all.

Under Kennedy's presidency, policies were made to crack down on organized crime even though Kennedy's father Joe told the mafia that under his sons presidency they would not be touched. Also Kennedy's Brother Robert was extremely motivated to stop organized crime. Finally, the CIA also wanted Castro out of Cuba so the enlisted help from the mob. Mob leader Giancana was told by the CIA if he helped in the assassination of Castro they would allow him to control criminal elements. Kennedy denied this plan causing Giancana to lose a lot of money in his ambitions to assassinate Castro.

If the Mafia was sufficiently angry with the Kennedys for their crusade against organized crime, the logical move would be to kill Robert Kennedy.

Did the CIA lie about the direction of the bullet that killed Kennedy?

Yes the CIA lied about the direction of the fatal bullet. Mafia hit man James Files has recently admitted to firing the fatal bullet, that blew John F Kennedy's (JFK) brains out towards the rear, from the infamous grassy knoll in Daily Plaza. Which was in front of JFK at the time of the shooting. Skilled morticians worked on JFK head to cover up the massive head trauma and support the FBI, CIA, and government's lone crazy gun man theory. But Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK or Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit, he was the government's patsy. Photos of Oswald working with the CIA have recently surfaced. The Mafia killed JFK because Bobby Kennedy was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia. Even after all the work the Mafia had done in Chicago to get JFK elected president in 1960. James Files worked together with another Mafia hit man to "take the trash out" as he put it.

Who might have killed JFK?

Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy. Oswald was a man who never fit in; no matter what he tried, he always ended up alienating himself from the "group". The likelihood that he could cooperate or coordinate this activity with another person or persons is very remote. He had the training, the skill, and the means to carry it out all by himself. Most of all, after all of his failures, he had the motivation to make this grand gesture to ensure that his name would always be a part of American history.

Why was president JFK killed?

Lee Harvey Oswald had a driving need to validate his beliefs after a life of frustration. His life had been muddled by efforts to make a political (anti-government) impact. He didn't have a clear goal or a defined outcome so his efforts always failed. Opportunity landed on his doorstep when Kennedy came to Dallas. He had the training and the means to make his place in history. Opportunity gave him a goal with a defined outcome and he set about to accomplish it. The Mafia killed John F Kennedy (JFK) because Bobby Kennedy the US Attorney General was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia.
