More Than 50 Employees at Cook County Court Clerk’s Office Leave Amid COVID-19 Fraud Probes

More than 50 employees from the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County have either been fired or chosen to resign amid COVID-19 relief fraud allegations.

The employees were found to have defrauded the Paycheck Protection Program designed to help businesses stay afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Iris Martinez, clerk of the circuit court, whose office employs more than 1,400 staff, says she’s “personally offended” by the fraud.

In an interview with WTTW News, Martinez said she had asked the county’s Office of the Independent Inspector General (OIIG) to assist the clerk’s own inspector general’s investigation into the fraud.

How is just "resignation"  an option for fraud?
