A new corruption officer has been named to hear the charges against Ken Hall, Rome Aloise, Willie Smith, Nicole Brener-Schmitz and other Hoffa administration officials.

With multiple Hoffa appointees facing charges, the corruption probe turns to a scheme to rig the bidding for a lucrative Teamster benefit fund contract to award it to an investment firm owner that took Hoffa on multiple European golf junkets.

Hoffa’s Executive Assistant Willie Smith has been charged with taking thousands of dollars in illegal gifts from a Teamster employer who gave him tickets to the Playboy Super Bowl Party in exchange for contract concessions.
