Nadhmi Auchi owns General Mediterranean Holding, a Luxemburg-based conglomerate with investments all over the world in everything from Iraq reconstruction contracts to pharmaceuticals to pizza parlors.
More than two solid months of investigation leads to the conclusion that following the names linked to Riverside Park is the key to understanding Operation Board Games.
Auchi ended up with the grand prize but the new owner can not set foot on the development site in downtown Chicago because he is not allowed in this country.

According to an October 26, 2006, Tribune report, since 2002, “Mutual Bank has lent more than $3.4 million to Rezko and his partners in three deals.”
In one case the Tribune found, the bank lent $1.32 million to Rezko on several pieces of property that were deeded back and forth between Rezko partners both before and after the loan was secured. “Banking experts said such moves raise questions about who owned the property used as collateral for the loan,” the Tribune wrote.
Amrish Mahajan is president of the Mutual Bank, which had requests pending before state banking regulators to acquire two out-of-state banks, according to the report.
Amrish donated $10,000 to Blagojevich’s campaigns. He also contributed $500 to Obama on December 20, 2003, and gave him another $1,000 on April 14, 2004. Amrish is also a supporter of Mayor Daley, who once appointed him to the Chicago Planning Commission.
The Tribune reported that, “Blagojevich’s wife earned more than $113,000 in real estate commissions this year through a woman who holds a longstanding, no-bid state contract.”
The four deals involving Anita and Amrish Mahajan, account for the only commissions Patricia Blagojevich has earned this year, the Tribune noted.
