Patrick Daley Thomspson, former 11th Ward alderman and scion of the Daley political dynasty, was sentenced Wednesday to four months in prison for tax evasion and lying to banking regulators.
Former Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson leaves the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse during a break in his federal trial on Feb. 11, 2022.
The jury also found Thompson guilty on five counts of filing false tax returns that illegally claimed mortgage interest deductions he never paid.In court filings, prosecutors argued that Thompson should be sentenced to 2 years in prison, saying he was a savvy and sophisticated lawyer and public official who knew the consequences of his actions.
The charges against Thompson were an offshoot of a larger investigation into the collapse of Washington Federal, which uncovered a massive embezzlement scheme leading to charges against more than a dozen former bank officers, employees and customers.
