This Honolulu FBI file concerns allegations that Larry Mehau was involved in organized crime in Hawaii. The records, dated 1977-1978, include agent memoranda, airtels, source reports, and requests from the Los Angeles FBI-DEA Task Force for intelligence on Hawaii narcotics activity and the group called 'The Company.' They discuss unproven claims about Mehau's influence, alleged political pressure on a Hawaii legislator, and possible connections to narcotics figures and the 1978 killing of Dennis M. Galarza. Honolulu agents reported that many allegations came from newspaper accounts or street talk and that Mehau had not been charged with a crime.
