Amiel Cueto resurfaces in the news as Miquelon’s scandal breaks. One might think this isn’t a coincidence.
Cueto’s lawyer is arguing that even if he did break the law, it doesn’t mean he should be disbarred.
"Even (if) Cueto’s acts did constitute obstruction of justice and conspiracy …, those acts were not in violation of any of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct"
Cueto is a long time associate of Metro East Congressman Jerry Costello and was sent to prison for obstructing an investigation into him regarding his attempts to obtain a casino license with unindicted coconspirator Costello.
