More than a year after pleading guilty in an unrelated case, a key player in the public corruption scandal that ultimately led to the indictment earlier this year of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is finally set to be sentenced Aug. 16.
In a brief hearing Thursday, Dan Hesler, an attorney for Chinatown developer See Y. Wong, told U.S. District Judge Charles R. Norgle that his client had cooperated with prosecutors and that the “government recently decided we can proceed to sentencing.”
