Hofa’s disappearance
Hofa disappeared on July 30, 1975, and almost immediately became one of the most missing people in the country, not only because of his personal history but also because of his clear links to organized crimes and the number of failed searches to find his remains.
Indiana spent most of his life as a union organizer based in southeast of Michigan. And soon it rose through the ranks inside The international Muslim Brotherhood He was finally chosen as president of the Federation in 1957.
It is claimed that both Hofa and Al -Ittihad have many relationships with organized crime. Many experts are convinced that the Teamsters team was able to flourish in part because of some “shaded practices”. Hofa was able to avoid criminal charges until 1967, when he was convicted of calming the jury, fraud and conspiracy, and sentenced him to 13 years in prison.
Ultimately, Hofa was reduced by President Richard Nixon, and despite the circumstances that were put in his release, he soon started to restore his power with the Teamsters team. This work is what investigators believe led to his disappearance.
Investigators decided that Hoffa bent over his prayers within many families of the crime governing to restore his feet in the federation, including the Provenzano family in New Jersey and the Giacalone family in Detroit. AlthoughHe claims to be threatenedBy Provenzanos to continue the pressure for power just months ago, Hofa agreed to meet with representatives from the two families at 2 pm on July 30 at Red Fox in Machu in the town of Bloomfield.

By the next morning, after Hofa failed to return home, his family contacted the police. He was officially announced that he was a person who is missing later that day, which led to a hunt worldwide.
Many people associated with organized crime families have been involved and interrogated in the disappearance of Hofa, but no one has been officially charged. There are dozens of theories that caused the disappearance of Hofa or the place of well -being, but most professional and amateur investigators reached the same conclusion: Hofa was killed.
The FBI still receives advice on the case and conducted many excavations around the southeast of Michigan In New Jersey He tries to find his body.
