feds take Melrose little league investigation from state's attorney

Chicago Tribune (Joseph Sjostrom):

Information from a probe by the Cook County state's attorney's office into the loss of at least $42,000 from the Melrose Park Little League treasury has been turned over to federal authorities investigating official corruption in Melrose Park.

About $42,000 went missing when Lisa Zito was treasurer of the Melrose Park little league. Zito's husband was a police lieutenant. Lisa Zito claimed Terry Serpico, the brother of Village President Ron Serpico, was responsible for the missing money.

An FBI agent involved in investigating local stuff said that five more indictments will be announced in the next few weeks. I wonder if they will be connected the little league investigation.

BTW, I'm also wondering if the feds will be looking at the possibility Dick Devine's assistant state's attorneys deliberately did a shoddy job on the investigation as a political favor to power brokers within Melrose Park.
