DETROIT (AP) - Ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is to return to Detroit as a hearing continues on his personal finances and a request to have his $6,000 monthly restitution to the city halved.
Tuesday's hearing is in Wayne County Circuit Court.
Prosecutors last month questioned Kilpatrick on $240,000 in loans he received from 4 of Detroit's most prominent businessmen following his Feb. 3 jail release.
Another businessman also gave his wife and sons a $50,000 gift while Kilpatrick was jailed as part of pleas to two criminal cases stemming from a text-messaging sex scandal.
Prosecutors contend that Kilpatrick has not been truthful about how much money he has. He resigned as mayor in September 2008. He now works as a salesman for a company in Texas.
