Sixty months and restitution of $539,844.10 was the sentence for contractor who bribed Republican DuPage County Bloomingdale Township Highway Commissioner Robert Czernek.
Highway Commissioner Czernek pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of wire fraud and admitted accepting the kickbacks and approving the fraudulent invoices. Czernek agreed to forfeit several items that were criminally derived from the fraud scheme, including
- a 2014 Lexus RX350,
- a 1966 Buick Wildcat, and
- a 1981 Corvette.
The briber, Mario Giannini, worked at Bulldog Earth Movers Inc., an excavation company in Bloomingdale, Ill.
From 2012 to 2020, Giannini paid more than $280,000 in kickbacks to Czernek in exchange for Czernek using his official position to approve payment of stone delivery, dump leveling, and storm sewer invoices submitted to the township by Bulldog.
Czernek would leave handwritten notes for Giannini in predetermined places around the Bloomingdale Township Highway Department office and grounds identifying the information that Bulldog needed to include in the fraudulent invoices.
Czernek later approved the invoices knowing that much of the work and services were never performed. The fraud scheme resulted in Bloomingdale Township issuing more than $800,000 in checks to Bulldog.
Most likely what Randy Funk is looking into with ZRF&M.

Illinois’ Townships…Political-Tar-Pits of Corruption, Cronyism, Nepotism, Patronage and Waste!!!!!! Put them on the ballot!
What about Bob Miller’s corruption? Or the ongoing corruption of Funk, Al Z or Nunda?
Cznerk owned tri-state express, a local trucking company.
He was caught several times stealing freight and controlled meds from his shipping customers.
He lost many accounts because I’d his shady dealings.
He’s been a crook all his life, good to see it finally caught up to that sleeze ball
