Illinois Sen. Terry Link Charged with Felony Income Tax Fraud
Longtime Illinois Sen. Terry Link has been charged with felony income tax fraud, court records show.
Terry is the latest lawmaker ensnared in a sprawling federal corruption probe.
Prosecutors allege that in October 2017, Link under reported his income on his federal tax return for the previous year, according to charging documents filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Link reported on his Form 1040 that his total income for 2016 was $264,450. Prosecutors said he, "knew that the total income substantially exceeded that amount."
Link, a 73-year-old Democrat from Waukegan, has served in the Illinois Senate since 1997, representing the 30th District in Chicago's northern suburbs. Neither Link nor his attorney immediately responded to requests for comment.
