Rezko indictment: The ABCs

October 12, 2006

The indictment identifies several individuals by letter only. The Sun-Times was able to confirm the identities of some through sources familiar with the investigation. None of these people have been accused of a crime. Many have declined to comment or could not be reached.

Individual . . .

A. William Cellini: Longtime Springfield powerbroker and associate of Stuart Levine's. Allegedly acted as a go-between in one shakedown.

B. Christopher G. Kelly: Blagojevich fund-raiser. Allegedly discussed plans to raise political donations from investment firms.

C. Sheldon Pekin: Consultant who allegedly agreed to kick back $250,000 in fees in return for getting TRS business.

D. Joseph Aramanda: Rezko associate who allegedly got $250,000 from Pekin "in substantial part for the benefit of Rezko."

G. Michael Winter: Rezko business associate. Had allegedly agreed to funnel fees from an investment firm to Rezko but did not want his identity revealed to TRS board.

H. Myron Cherry: Attorney and political donor. Cherry's name was listed in place of Winter's on TRS paperwork. Cherry said this was done without his knowledge and that he is cooperating with federal authorities.

J. Thomas Rosenberg: Movie producer and former investment firm owner. Balked at Levine and Rezko's extortion attempt and threatened to go to law enforcement.
