Chester Wilson Jr. Gets Sentence | Chicago News

Chester Wilson Jr., former top aide to Chicago Ald. Carrie Austin, just got sentenced to three years probation and a $20K fine after prosecutors accused him and Austin of accepting kickbacks—granite countertops, sump pumps, HVAC systems—in exchange for city hall favors on a $50M development. Wilson, who’s now house-arrested for three months, was charged with bribery and theft; Austin, also charged, faces stalled proceedings due to serious health issues including heart and lung problems that made trial too risky. The developer at the center of it all died in 2020, leaving the case’s legal future uncertain for Austin.
