Sources say the wife and son of crooked Fox Lake cop Joe Gliniewicz, who staged his September suicide to look like a murder, are also being investigated as his co-embezzlers.
The late and disgraced “hero” officer “carefully staged” his own fatal shooting this summer to mislead his colleagues and community into believing his was a bona fide Line of Duty Death.
But that elaborate ruse was to avoid prosecution for over seven years of pilfering monies from a youth program he headed on behalf of his police department, investigators recently determined.
According to county officials, their probe of the misappropriated funds had just been launched when Gliniewicz offed himself, and now it looks as if his scheme to defraud them might have been a family affair.
Veteran cop and soldier Gi Joe Gliniewizc’s faked LODD -- and the resulting corruption scandal he left behind -- has enraged many who revered the *fallen” officer and donated thousands to his widow and children.
Now, those organizations and individuals would like their money back, too.
