Lil Durk and his legal team have alleged that the prosecution in his murder-for-hire case is relying on an untrustworthy FBI informant.
The troubled Chicago rapper claims that he should be released from jail before the trial.
“The government repeatedly cites allegations from a federal case out of Illinois where Mr. Banks has never been charged and never will be charged, despite the passage of over three years since the underlying incident,” Durkio’s attorney, Drew Findling, said in a statement.
“The government’s own exhibit reveals that the allegations pertaining to Mr. Banks are based primarily on information from a cooperating human source, ‘CHS 1,’ described in the affidavit as a paid FBI informant and former gang member with a criminal history.”
Furthermore, Findling claims that the government hasn’t proven that Durk is a flight risk or a danger to the public if he’s released on bail.
The Chicago drill rapper has offered a $4.5 million bail packet with $3 million in personal cash. He has also offered to essentially place himself under house arrest and hire 24/7 security to monitor his whereabouts.
While prosecutors said that the bail wasn’t enough, the court hasn’t yet made a decision.
As previously reported, Lil Durk Durk is accused of ordering six men to kill Quando Rondo as revenge for the killing of King Von with the incident leading to the murder of Rondo’s cousin.
