Former Homeland Security investigator from Naperville convicted of corruption, concealment
A former Homeland Security investigator from Naperville was convicted of federal tax, structuring, and concealment offenses on Friday, May 5.
Anthony Sabaini, 41, was convicted on seven different counts, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office news release. Officials said he was found to have had a corrupt relationship with a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) confidential informant, taking about $50K in payment to tip off the informant and protect them from FBI and DEA investigations. Sabaini also stole money from the HSI and drug dealers, and lied about his informant in memos to the HSI, the release said.
In total, Sabaini deposited more than $250,000 in cash into his bank account, making deposits in increments of less than $10,000 to avoid federal reporting rules.
A sentencing date for Sabaini has not yet been set.
