The brother of ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich isn’t happy –not at all.
Brother Robert Blagojevich, who faces criminal charges himself in connection with the public corruption case against his brother, is asking a Chicago federal judge to keep private 208 phone calls he claims the FBI wrongly intercepted, according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times.
A court filing shows the FBI captured more than five hours of onversations between Robert Blagojevich and his wife or son, the Sun-Times reported.
His attorney Michael Ettinger told the Sun-Times those conversations shouldn’t have been recorded.
“To the extent that they did it, my client is extremely upset as is his wife,” Ettinger said, and added that there’s nothing illicit about those conversation. “It’s wrong, they violated the statute. And it’s the principle of it. They can’t break the law and get away with it,” Ettinger said.
Robert Blagojevich, who lives in Nashville, Tenn., ran his brothers campaign fund.
