Chicago Alderman Bob Fioretti (2nd) and a partner looted their law firm to pay for personal expenses — including running for City Council — two lawyers who used to work for the firm contend.Not exactly sure what will come of this, but if we read anything else we will let you know.
In a suit filed in Cook County Circuit Court, Charles Brizzolara and Paul Peldyak allege that they're owed about $100,000 by the now-defunct law firm Fioretti & Lower Ltd., which dissolved in June.
They contend they weren't paid salary, expenses and other compensation "because Fioretti and Lower used and diverted such funds to their own use, including payment of personal rented cars, club dues and funds lent to Fioretti's aldermanic campaign."

ReplyDeleteCorruption in Chicago politics? I don't believe it!
ReplyDeleteShould we be shocked? He is an attorney & Chicago politician….only seems natural.
ReplyDeleteDo We Screw You & How...
Why not wait to hear from him?
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt he was that dumb.
Agreed! Just because he is accused by some pissed off employees doesn't mean he is guilty.

ReplyDeletePerhaps he could focus more on the South Loop and little less on the West loop. But who can blame him, he didn't even win the South Loop Area when running for Alderman. Hence, why we get neglected!!! Especially, ever since Daley left!!
