| 2019-01-04 |
| [WGNTV] Ald. Edward Burke, the longest serving alderman in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... history, has been charged with attempted extortion for "corruptly soliciting business" for his private law firm, according to a federal complaint unsealed Thursday. If convicted of extortion, Burke faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Burke’s attorney requested a preliminary hearing for Jan. 18 at 2 p.m. Burke was released on a $10,000 bond. Under the conditions of his release, he must not violate any laws, must give a DNA sample, not change his residence or phone number. He also cannot travel outside of northern Illinois with the exception of his home in Powera Lake, Wisc. Burke must also get rid of the 23 firearms he owns. |
