MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A former Milwaukee Alderman has been charged with three counts of wire fraud.
According to the indictment, Willie Wade got $30,000 in cash from someone by falsely claiming he was negotiating on behalf of a current alderman to accept a bribe.
The bribe would have been in exchange for a vote in favor of approving licenses for a downtown strip club.
The indictment says the alderman was not aware of Wade’s representations and had never offered or agreed to accept any bribe.
Each count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release following any prison term.
Wade has been President and CEO of 'Employee Milwaukee' since last July.
