Following Tribune reports last year about the close relationship between Redflex and Bills, a company-sponsored internal investigation found that Redflex plied him with 17 vacation trips including airfare, hotels, rental cars, meals and golf outings. The company also acknowledged paying a longtime Bills friend, Marty O'Malley, $2.03 million as a Chicago consultant. Some of the money was likely intended for Bills, according to the findings, which said the arrangement will "likely be considered bribery by the authorities," according to the company's report.
