CHICAGO (AP) — An attorney for a prominent Chicago alderman says his client will fight the charges against him in a newly unveiled indictment.

Willie Cochran’s attorney spoke Wednesday after the grand jury indictment was filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago. The charges include federal program bribery and extortion.

Thomas Durkin said in a phone interview from New York that he hasn’t had the chance to go through all the documents in the case. But he says his client has an “outstanding reputation” and that they intend to “fight the charges vigorously.”

The indictment, among other things, accuses the alderman of pilfering at least $30,000 from a charitable fund, then spending at casinos and to pay his daughter’s college tuition.
