Episode: FBI recordings in the Michael Madigan trial are outlining an alleged Chinatown corruption scheme
Description: Prosecutors are close to wrapping up their side of the story in the federal racketeering conspiracy trial of ex-House Speaker Michael Madigan and co-defendant Michael McClain.
Some of the key pieces of evidence involve secretly-recorded conversations both had about a parcel of land in Chicago’s Chinatown.
The deal they were trying to make is an important snapshot of the bigger criminal enterprise the government says Madigan led.
WBEZ’s Dave McKinney takes us there.
