Feds allege Chicago bid-rigging scheme
March 12, 2010 10:59 EST
CHICAGO (AP) -- The U.S. attorney's office says a suburban Chicago man is accused of taking part in a bid-rigging scheme involving contracts at McCormick Place, Chicago's lakefront exposition hall.
Federal spokesman Randall Samborn says Rudy Fratto of Darien was arrested by FBI agents early Friday and will appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria Valdez later in the day.
Details of the charges aren't immediately available.
In January, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly sentenced Fratto to a year and a day in federal prison for evading more than $140,000 in income taxes. He was due to report to prison April 28.
