CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Former state Sen. Martin Sandoval was charged in federal court Monday with bribery and filing a false tax return, four months after federal authorities targeted his home and offices in a high-profile raid.
The new charges revolve around Sandoval’s support for red-light cameras, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
The feds filed the charges against Sandoval on Monday in a two-page document that typically signals a defendant’s intention to plead guilty. His attorney, Dylan Smith, declined to comment.
Sandoval’s arraignment has been set for 11 a.m. Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Andrea Wood.
