Longtime Political Operative Tied to High Ranking Made Member of Chicago Mob Gets Indicted

The Chicago Tribune reports:
A longtime precinct captain for indicted Chicago Ald. Edward Burke and aide to former state Sen. Martin Sandoval was charged Monday with misleading the FBI in its sprawling federal political corruption investigation.
There's more:
An old-school remnant of Chicago Democratic machine politics, Acosta came up under former 1st Ward Ald. Fred Roti, who was indicted in 1990 on corruption charges and later went to federal prison.
Imagine that.
