The owner of a Chicago-area construction company, Alex Nitchoff, 56, has been charged with one count of conspiracy to bribe a Cook County public official and two counts of using a facility in interstate commerce to facilitate the acts of bribery.
According to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, between 2016 and June 2019, Nitchoff, of Lemont, is alleged to have conspired with others to bribe Lavdim Memisovski, a commercial group leader at the Cook County assessor’s office. Memisovski assessed property values for Cook County commercial properties and reviewed property tax appeals for commercial properties.
In return, prosecutors allege, Memisovski made sure that appeals of property assessments related to Nitchoff and his business associates were routed to him so he could extend deadlines for the filing of appeals and reduce assessed property values.Nitchoff is facing a possible sentence of up to five years in federal prison for the bribery charge. Each charge of using a facility of interstate commerce can carry up to five years in federal prison.
