Former Chicago Ald. Edward “Fast Eddie” Vrdolyak could be heading to prison this summer but his attorneys still fear “he could die” if put behind bars during the coronavirus pandemic.
Therefore, U.S. District Judge Robert Dow set a June 29 surrender date for the 83-year-old Vrdolyak during a hearing Thursday, triggering the Federal Bureau of Prisons to decide where Vrdolyak would serve his 18-month sentence for tax evasion. The judge also then left room for Vrdolyak’s lawyers to make a case that his surrender should be further delayed.
“I’m not going to jeopardize Mr. Vrdolyak’s health any more than it’s already jeopardized,” Dow said.
