Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez on Wednesday asked a federal judge to consider the “rampant and unchecked corruption” of his predecessor, Ald. Daniel Solis, when weighing the unprecedented deal Solis has been offered by federal prosecutors in his bribery case.
Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez speaks during the groundbreaking ceremony for the"Resurrection Project's Casa Durango" housing in Chicago on Sept. 16, 2021. Wood, meanwhile, is scheduled to take up the issue during a status hearing in Solis’ case on Thursday. The deferred prosecution deal was signed by Solis on the day after Christmas 2018 and kept secret for nearly 3 ½ years before the U.S. attorney’s office on Tuesday finally put it on the record.
Hours later, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who has been highly critical of Solis’ deal, issued a statement that called him out for violating the public trust “in profound ways” but stopped short of any seeming attempt to derail the deferred prosecution. It was not the first time Lightfoot has been critical of Solis. After the Tribune reported on Solis collecting his pension after leaving office in 2019, Lightfoot said she was “confident he will face a moment of reckoning.”She has since publicly and privately criticized the deal prosecutors reached with Solis, calling it “unconscionable” that he might not face a conviction or lose his pension.
