Two employees with the Cook County Assessor’s Office, as well as the owner of a Chicago-area fence installation company, have been charged in a bribery scheme, according to an indictment announced by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
A third employee of the office, Lavdim Memisovski, was also involved in the alleged scheme and was charged separately. The scheme is alleged to have occurred from February 2017 to November 2017. The scheme involved appeals by Fence Master and Company A of the reassessed values of their properties. Clausen and Likovski allegedly agreed to route the appeals to Memisovski, who reduced the assessed values on the properties. In return, they received bribes including golf outings, food and drinks, according to the indictment.Contact Patty Wetli:
