Hoffa Family Lawyer Levels Contradictions Over Track Loan
In Baltimore the Hoffa family attorney disputes Irvin Kovens who says Teamsters officials were unaware of stock transfers to Hoffa relatives when granting the Charles Town track loan. Kovens claims no contingent deal existed. Zaft counters, pension funds were informed to avoid secret benefits. The loan enabled stockholders to liquidate a mortgage and profit on sale in 1971. Crancers reportedly earned about 1.2 million from a 50 000 investment as the U S attorney in Chicago probes the matter.
