Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson a nephew of one former Chicago mayor and grandson of another has been charged with making false statements and filing a false income-tax return.
He is the highest-profile figure to face criminal charges in a case involving a clout-heavy Bridgeport bank that was shut down over what authorities say was a massive fraud scheme.
Thompson, 51, faces prosecution on seven charges involving Washington Federal Bank for Savings.
The federal indictment made public Thursday accuses Thompson “of falsely representing on five years of income taxes that he paid interest on money he received from Washington Federal, even though he knew he did not pay interest in the amounts reported on the returns.”

Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson is the heir to his family’s Bridgeport political dynasty and someone who was believed to have aspirations for higher office, maybe even the mayor’s office once held by his grandfather and uncle.
A federal indictment returned Thursday against Thompson means that’s never going to happen, no matter the outcome of the court proceedings to follow.
And it raises the question: Does this mark the end of the line for the Daleys in Chicago politics, or at least the beginning of the end?
Opinion
I expect it does.
Never say never, but Team Daley’s bench has grown shorter with the succeeding generations, if not necessarily in terms of talent, then certainly in desire. The scrutiny that comes with being a Daley in Chicago politics is not to the liking of every family member, witness Richard M. Daley’s son, Patrick, who now lives in Montana.
