Here’s an interesting article on Rezko and Nadhmi Auchi that I must have missed... looks like a lot of folks missed it.
In addition to his French connections, Auchi is also a major political player in Britain. At the 1999 celebration of the 20th anniversary of Auchi’s company, General Mediterranean Holdings (GMH), British Prime Minister Tony Blair gave Auchi a painting of the British Houses of Parliament signed by 130 MPs including the heads of the Labor, Liberal-Democratic, and Conservative Parties. Auchi’s website shows him greeting such international figures as Syrian dictator Bashir Assad, former US Vice-President Al Gore, Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi and former US President Bill Clinton, husband of Obama’s Secretary of State.
