CHICAGO TRIBUNE: Chicago to Pay $20 Million to Settle Code-of-silence Lawsuit Over Fatal Crash Caused by Drunken Cop

The city of Chicago has agreed to pay $20 million to settle a code-of-silence lawsuit brought by the families of two young men killed in a fiery drunken driving crash caused by an off-duty police detective.

The agreement to pay $10 million each to relatives of Andrew Cazares and Fausto Manzera was reached in dramatic fashion earlier this month after it was revealed that key documents involving an alcohol-fueled bar fight in detective Joseph Frugoli’s past had been improperly withheld.

Cavanagh Sorich Law Group represents the Cazares family.
