Conspicuously left out of the new Netflix Documentary American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders

At the time of his murder, as was confirmed by his best friend Ben Mason, Casolaro had in his briefcase copies of two checks—one for $1 million and another for $4 million—from the Kuwaiti Royal Family to Iran/Contra criminal arms dealers Adnan Khashoggi and Manucher Ghorbanifar, that had been drawn on the Monte Carlo branch of BCCI, for the purchase of TOW missiles by Hezbollah.

Those two checks were transferred by one Robert Sensi, who worked directly for CIA Director William Casey. The profits from this sale were to be used to purchase arms to be illegally sent to the Nicaraguan Contras in flagrant violation of the 1984 Boland Amendment.
