Detroit — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, facing racketeering charges in federal court Wednesday morning, is set to appear this afternoon in Wayne County Circuit Court for another hearing about the proceeds of his autobiography.
County officials confirmed the hearing last week, shortly after it was revealed Kilpatrick was late with a $500 restitution payment to the city. Authorities want to know more about the former mayor's finances — specifically, about the proceeds from the sales of his book, said Russ Marlan, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman.
"There is some uncertainty about where all the money from the book sales has gone," Marlan said last week. "Kwame Kilpatrick has indicated he's received none of it. But books are being sold. People are paying for the book and money is going somewhere."
