Tony Rezko and Jabir Muhammad

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad says he's been "embezzled" out of his ownership of eight properties -- including the South Side mansion where he still lives -- by indicted businessman and political fund-raiser Tony Rezko.

"He embezzled me," Jabir Muhammad, 78, told the Chicago Sun-Times. "He had taken it without my knowledge and didn't pay me for it."

Rezko called the allegation baseless and upsetting given that he has "generously supported Mr. Muhammad" in their nearly 30 years as business partners and friends.
