Prosecutors said they factored in Tobolski’s cooperation when seeking a prison sentence of five years and five months. Ultimately, a judge decided on a four-year sentence.
He faced up to 14 years for the crimes.
Tobolski is one of nearly a dozen suburban elected officials and political operatives brought down by a federal corruption probe dating back to 2019. Tobolski served as mayor of McCook and a Cook County commissioner before abruptly resigning shortly after the FBI raided his suburban offices in 2020.
In a statement to the court, Tobolski said what he did was wrong and that he added to the ever-increasing distrust in elected officials.
