Former Rezko business partner gets 3 years probation

The Chicago Tribune reports:
A former business partner of convicted influence-peddler Antoin "Tony" Rezko was sentenced today to three years of probation for his role in a bank fraud case involving the sale of Rezko's pizza restaurants.

Abdelhamid "Al" Chaib had pleaded guilty to a single count of obstructing the IRS for his role in a $2.6 million loan that Rezko had fraudulently received from GE Capital to finance Chaib's bogus purchase of Rezko's string of Papa John's pizza franchises.
Is Al Chaib's favorite Attorney General Eric Holder?
