The sentencing comes roughly a week after the feds unveiled details of a recorded conversation that allegedly tied Weiss to the late Chicago mobster Frank “The German” Schweihs.
The indictment against Joseph Weiss was handed up in August 2022 but only unsealed this week. Prosecutors moved to keep it under seal in February, arguing the investigation “extends beyond Joseph Weiss, and is ongoing.”
Link’s entanglement with the feds first became known in October 2019, when the Chicago Sun-Times and other media reported he was the unnamed state senator who wore a wire against then-state Rep. Luis Arroyo. Link lied to reporters at the time and claimed it wasn’t him.
