Faust Villazan of Western Springs pleaded guilty in May to one count of wire fraud and one count of mail fraud.

Villazan is the former owner of the since-dissolved Faustech Industries. The company qualified as a minority-owned business and allegedly posed as a 30% partner with the Siemens subsidiary when the larger company sought the $49 million contract.

The Siemens subsidiary was also ordered to pay $2.5 million in fines and restitution.
