Former Rosemont police Cmdr. Frank Siciliano claims Rosemont police and the village covered up crimes

A former top police officer in a controversial suburb has accused village officials of covering up crimes and misconduct tied to themselves and those close to them.

In a lawsuit filed last week in Cook County, former Rosemont police Cmdr. Frank Siciliano claims he was ousted, in part, for refusing to go along with the alleged cover-ups in the small town in the shadow of O'Hare International Airport. Siciliano also alleged he was pushed out for refusing to back down from a compensation claim over a back injury.

An attorney for the village, Peter Coblentz, said in general that village officials did nothing improper, but he couldn't discuss specifics.
