Former worker in assessor's office admits to scheme
Posted August 04, 2022 1:00 am
A former longtime Cook County assessor's office employee agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors Thursday as he admitted helping lower taxes on certain Cook County properties by at least $1 million in exchange for benefits like home improvements.
Lavdim Memisovski, 43, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy count for conduct that occurred between 2016 and July 2018, under then-Assessor Joe Berrios, who previously has been a subject of interest by federal authorities.
Berrios could not be reached for comment.
