Hoffa Ally Testimony Ties Indy Bank to Funding Schemes
Hoffa faces trial June 17 on assault charges while two federal indictments loom. Testimony linked an Indianapolis bank led by Frank McKinney to a $125,000 Hoffa-linked Detroit operation and a State Cab loan via Probstein. Subpoenas issued to four Indianapolis men include James C. Courtney, a Revenue commissioner and ex Board of Safety member. Senator McClellan warned of sworn-evidence claiming Hoffa lied under oath about State Bank finances. Probstein avoided questions as federal officials escorted him into the hearing room.
