Hoffa plot outlined by bodyguard before 1975 murder
Allen, Hoffa’s former bodyguard and nephew of gangster Palermo, testified before the Senate about Hoffa’s plan to kill Frank Fitzsimmons and Tony Provenzano after prison. He claimed Hoffa ordered the murder of Fitzsimmons, had his body ground up and disposed of, and that Chuckie O'Brien betrayed him. The testimony also touched on Philadelphia gang wars and Scarfo’s rise, linking unions to casino power.
