Police officers accused of PPP loan fraud

Sharing is Caring!

Two Illinois State Police officers from the Chicago area are suspected of defrauding the federal Paycheck Protection Program that provided loans to businesses struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On their loan applications, one said he ran a sports program for kids, listing “babysitting” as the primary purpose of his business. The other said he was a “handyman.”

The agency has filed complaints against the officers with the Illinois State Police Merit Board, which metes out discipline.

The state police released the complaints in response to a public records request the Chicago Sun-Times made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act but denied a request for other documents, including personnel records and disclosures of secondary employment, citing “active criminal investigations.”
