Bye-Bye Ike!

  • Federal authorities later Thursday plan to announce charges against Ald. Ike Carothers (29th), the chairman of the City Council's police and fire committee.

    They issued an alert Thursday indicating that new charges are expected in a public corruption case involving an FBI investigation.

    Federal prosecutors and the FBI will hold a 2 p.m. news conference.

    Also, a U.S. Attorney’s spokesman said a separate, unrelated case involving racketeering activity, armed robberies, arson and illegal gambling will also be unsealed.
So is this second indictment for Ike, too? Or is there a parallel Outift case working its way through the system?

UPDATE: The second indictment is a suburban Outfit case.

UPDATE: Interesting - Ike's dad was an aldercreature indicted for Extortion. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

UPDATE: Seeing as how Ike allegedly solicited bribes and took gifts in exchange for votes, we think it's fair to ask how much he charged his brother for three separate promotions.
