Ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s former chief fundraiser is headed for court to face sentencing for hiding his use of company funds to pay gambling debts and obstruct the Internal Revenue Service.
Fifty-year-old Christopher Kelly is a former member of Blagojevich’s inner circle. He’s to be sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge Elaine Bucklo.
Kelly pleaded guilty in January. He admitted not only using company funds to pay a bookie and a casino but to buy and furnish a home.
He also acknowledged illegally structuring cash withdrawals from his account.
