Prosecutors in northern Illinois are contacting attorneys whose clients pleaded guilty or were convicted in cases involving a police officer who authorities say killed himself after years of embezzling from a police-sponsored youth program.
Lake County State's Attorney Michael Nerheim says there are 13 prosecutions since 2008 involving the late Fox Lake Police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz.
The notification gives attorneys the opportunity to file motions or pursue other action after Gliniewicz's suicide and thefts were revealed.
Meanwhile, officials with BMO Harris Bank say they've frozen the main memorial bank account created after Gliniewicz's death when it was suspected he was a homicide victim. Bank officials haven't disclosed how much money is in the account.
