SPRINGFIELD — A federal prosecutor on Monday launched into closing arguments in a corruption trial that touched on money, sex, the president’s longtime golfing buddy and the alleged theft of state grant funds designed to fight cancer, flu and AIDS in minority communities.
On trial are Leon and Karin Dingle of Chicago, who are accused of using more than $3 million in state public health funds for cash, luxury cars, yacht club expenses and vacation getaway spots in Savannah, Ga., and Hilton Head, S.C.
