Indictments Charge Milking of Teamsters Pension Fund
Federal grand jury indicted seven men and three corporations for defrauding the Teamsters' Central States pension fund of more than 1.4 million dollars. Trustees Albert Matheson and Jack Sheetz were named along with Allen Dorfman, Irwin Weiner, Ronald DeAngeles, Anthony Spilotro, and Joseph Lombardo.

Thompson stressed the case targets individuals, not the union, as investigations continue.
