In 1977, after Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles was killed when his
car was blown up by the mob in a parking lot, a team of 36 journalists
from 27 news organizations, known as IRE, published an 80,000 word
23-part series on organized crime in Arizona.
Dan Nowicki and Bill Muller, reporting in the Arizona Republic March 1,
2007, documented that in 1953, Hensley was again charged with falsifying
records at Marley's liquor firms.
Hensley was found not guilty after being defended by William Rehnquist,
the future chief justice of the Supreme Court, Nowicki and Muller wrote.
In 2000, Hensley, then 80 years old, still controlled the Budweiser
distributorship valued as a $200 million-a-year business, with annual
sales of more than 20 million cases of beer.
On Feb. 17, 2000, Pat Flannery reported in the Arizona Republic that
Hensley's beer-distribution empire was the fifth largest in the nation,
"a Budweiser franchise whose bigwigs hold the No. 2 spot on Sen. John
McCain's all-time career list of corporate donors."
Since 1982, according to the Center for Public Integrity, Hensley & Co.
officials have pumped $80,000 into the campaigns of McCain, Flannery
wrote. More than a quarter of that has been donated since 1997.
Flannery further reported that in 2000, Cindy Hensley McCain, the
senator's wife, held a 37.18 percent financial interest in her father's
Budweiser distributorship, although she was not involved in day-to-day
operations.
The McCain's four children held a combined 23.55 percent interest,
though their interests were at that time held in trust.
Arizona crime connections again surfaced in the 1980s when McCain was
implicated as one of the five U.S. senators named in the "Keating Five"
scandal.
Charles Keating Jr. and his associates paid McCain some $112,000 in
political campaign contributions between 1982 and 1987, while Keating
was organizing a massive real estate fraud in the then FDIC federally
insured Lincoln Savings and Loan Association.
In April 1986, McCain's wife and father-in-law also invested $359,000 in
a Keating shopping center, before the savings and loan scandal broke.
Keating was sent to prison under civil racketeering and fraud charges
for the $1.1 billion loss the investment scheme cost the public,
although McCain and the other U.S. senators involved managed to avoid
charges in the Senate, with McCain receiving only an Ethics Committee
rebuke for exercising "poor judgment."
