CHICAGO – Alderman Patrick Daley Thompson has been indicted on federal bank fraud charges.

Prosecutors allege Daley Thompson (11th Ward), who is the grandson of former Mayor Richard J. Daley and the nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley, filed false tax returns and lied to investigators regarding over $200,000 worth of loans he’d received from the now-defunct Washington Federal Bank for Savings in Bridgeport.

Thompson, 51, allegedly made one payment on a $110,000 loan and never paid the rest back, according to the indictment. He has served as an alderman since 2015.
