Federal prosecutors said indicted Chicago Ald. Carrie Austin is exaggerating health issues to avoid going to trial on fraud charges, saying the FBI recently observed her going about political duties and running daily errands.
Ald. Carrie Austin speaks about the curfew ordinance during a City Council meeting on May 25, 2022 at City Hall. Federal prosecutors say Austin is exaggerating health issues to avoid going to trial on fraud charges.
The prosecutors also said that since her health issues aren’t expected to go away, granting Austin’s request would essentially “nullify” the indictment against her, which they said would be a “grave outcome” that denigrates the public’s right to a speedy resolution of criminal cases. The central developer in the indictment, now deceased, was working on a 91-unit project in Austin’s Far South Side ward. According to the indictment, the developer provided improvements at Austin’s home and an investment property Wilson owns.
