Eric Sanders is the department’s general manager of airport operations.

The CHICAGO TRIBUNE reports an indictment says snow removal companies owned by Sanders' father and his girlfriend's son were subcontracted for work for years at O'Hare Airport, and Sanders secretly received more than 260-thousand-dollars from the companies and avoided paying taxes.

Sanders' arraignment has not been scheduled.
