Tony Rezko Involved In Governor Real Estate Payoff?

REZKO-obamaThe tangled web of Tony Rezko and his nefarious real estate dealings is going to get a bit more tangled this week. The Chicago Sun Times has linked Rezko with a series of home repairs on Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s Chicago home.

If you remember the name Tony Rezko, he was the kickback artist who “bought” the property next to Presidential Candidate Barack Obama and sold him a part of it to help him out.

Rezko, who was convicted on corruption charges recently, is now reportedly talking with Federal agents about his past criminal behavior. Creating sweetheart deals for Governors and future Presidents should provide some great fodder for the last month of the election.

Federal investigators are zeroing in on whether Tony Rezko paid for all or part of a $90,000 rehab of Gov. Blagojevich’s Northwest Side bungalow as the corruption probe of the state’s first family accelerates.
Since Rezko’s felony conviction in June, the FBI has been investigating how the former top Blagojevich fund-raiser billed the governor and his wife for the work, who paid for it and whether Rezko ever arranged for cash to be passed in envelopes to the Blagojeviches, several sources familiar with the probe told the Chicago Sun-Times.

A grand jury has issued at least one subpoena related to the project, according to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Agents also have inquired about the governor’s wife’s real estate dealings with Rezko and whether Rezko might have disguised payments for the work through sham billings at a large housing development he was building. via CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
