“Strange… you don’t usually see stories about political corruption coming out of Chicago:
A
Chicago-area businessman whose association with President Obama came
under scrutiny during the 2008 presidential campaign has been sentenced
to more than 10 years in prison for corruption charges related to
kickback schemes.
Antoin
“Tony” Rezko, who raised funds for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) and
Obama when he was an Illinois senator, was sentenced to 10 and a half
years in prison Tuesday for a money kickback scheme he was convicted of
in 2008.
According
to the Chicago Sun-Times, Rezko was sentenced by a federal judge for
trying to make $7 million in kickbacks from companies trying to do
business with Blagojevich.
Rezko’s now hoping President Obama pardons more than just turkeys tomorrow.
