Six months after his release from federal prison, former Chicago Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson could be in hot water again after court probation officials accused him of failing to pay restitution for his tax-related conviction.

       Thompson, 54, the former 11th Ward alderman and scion of the Daley political dynasty, was sentenced to four months in prison in July 2022 for tax evasion and lying to banking regulators. He served his time at the minimum security facility in Oxford, Wisconsin, and was released five days before Christmas, records show.

       As part of the sentence, Thompson was ordered to begin paying approximately $60,000 in restitution within 60 days of his release. He also was required to notify probation officials immediately of any significant change in his economic circumstances, court records show.
