Chicago Crime Commission head resigns

The Daily Herald reports:
Legendary former FBI Agent Jim Wagner is stepping down as president of the Chicago Crime Commission, the group announced Thursday. Wagner is resigning for personal reasons, the group said in a press release. Wagner could not be reached for comment.

Wagner made a career out of fighting the mob in his time during the FBI, and was so well respected on the topic and history of the Outfit that the U.S. Attorney's Office called him as a witness in its recent "Family Secrets" trial against current mobsters, even though Wagner had retired from the FBI long before.
