  • Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran is a former labor union official who was accused of having links to organized crime and of being a hitman. He is one of several people believed to have been behind the killing of Jimmy Hoffa. When Rudolph Giuliani was a federal prosecutor, he named Sheeran as one of only two non-Italians on The Commission, the ruling body of the American Mafia. In his capacity as a high official in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Sheeran was a leading figure in the corruption of unions by organized crime. He became widely known in 2004 through the book I Heard You Paint Houses.
  • Frank „The Irishman“ Sheeran war ein Auftragsmörder der US-amerikanischen Cosa Nostra. Er wurde schon früh verdächtigt an dem spurlosen Verschwinden des Gewerkschaftsführers Jimmy Hoffa am 30. Juli 1975 beteiligt gewesen zu sein und kurz vor seinem Tod hat er schließlich sogar dessen Ermordung zugegeben. Darüber hinaus wird er mit 25–30 weiteren Morden in Verbindung gebracht; u. a. wird ihm z. B. die Ermordung des Mafioso Joe(y) Gallo vom 7. April 1972 zugerechnet. Als Sohn eines irischen Vaters war er der zweite Nicht-Italiener, welcher der Cosa Nostra als Vollmitglied zugerechnet wurde. Gerade an der Person von Frank Sheeran wird deutlich, wie tief die Mafia in die Gewerkschaft der Teamsters eindringen konnte.
  • Si tratta di una delle persone che furono indagate per l'assassinio di Jimmy Hoffa, in quanto i due si conobbero, in compagnia di Anthony Giacalone e Anthony Provenzano, al ristorante Machus Red Fox di Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, un sobborgo di Detroit, verso le 14:30 del 30 luglio 1975, anno in cui Hoffa scomparve. Nel 1999, Sheeran confessò all'autore Charles Brandt che aveva sparato due colpi di pistola sulla schiena e sulla testa di Hoffa, dopodiché affermò che avrebbe cremato di persona il cadavere di Hoffa. Due anni più tardi, Sheeran raccontò alla Fox News la stessa storia, fornendo varie informazioni sempre su Hoffa. Sheeran morì il 14 dicembre 2003, presso una casa di cura in periferia di Filadelfia.
