(Chicago IL.) Mayor Richard M. Daley’s former deputy chief of staff Gene Lee plans to plead guilty to embezzlement and tax fraud charges, his attorney said Monday morning.

Lee — an aide to Daley for years and a leader of Chicago’s Chinatown community — will admit he took at least $5,000 from a charity, spent it on himself, then failed to pay taxes on it, his attorney, Anthony Masciopinto, said.
