Prosecutors move to delay Rezko sentencing
By MIKE ROBINSON

CHICAGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have asked to delay the sentencing
of convicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko indefinitely.

The motion filed Monday afternoon signals the key fundraiser for Gov.
Rod Blagojevich, Sen. Barack Obama and other Illinois Domocrats may be
telling prosecutors what he knows about corruption in state
government.

It asks U.S. District Judge Amy J. St. Eve to delay the sentencing
"while the parties engage in discussions that could affect their
sentencing postures." The language is all but an acknowledgment that
Rezko is talking.

Rezko was convicted of launching a $7 million scheme to use his clout
with Blagojevich's administration to pressure a contractor and firms
wanting to do business with the state for kickbacks.
