First PPP Fraud, Now Housing Fraud?

To be fair, there's a bunch of precedent for this:

• Two Chicago police officers, a city firefighter and a former Water Department employee have been indicted on federal fraud charges alleging they lied about their employment and income for years to qualify for subsidized housing assistance.

One of the accused worked on the west side where there have been a number of cops who deliberately misrepresented or concealed their real estate holdings to skirt the rules concerning "distressed neighborhood" home ownership. CWB wrote about one here along with a Tribune expose which went nowhere. 

Even a Deputy Chief was involved but nothing ever happened to any of them. If you assist the higher-ups in a successful "enterprise," they'll go to bat for you throughout the investigative process. It's a story as old as Chicago Machine politics.
