* Friday news dump…

Vahooman “The Shadow” Mirkhaef’s name was on the FBI’s search warrant of Sandoval’s Statehouse office…

Vahooman “Shadow” Mirkhaef owns Cub Terminal LLC. His companies, including Cub Terminal, have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to political campaigns, with Sandoval being a beneficiary.

* From the charges…

Defendant VAHOOMAN MIRKHAEF operated a business known as Cub Terminal located in the Village of McCook. MIRKHAEF sought approval from the Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) for the purchase of property located adjacent to MIRKHAEF’s McCook business (the “McCook Property”).

State Senator A was an Illinois State Senator and the Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. As Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, State Senator A was in a position to assist with obtaining IDOT approvals for MIRKHAEF’s purchase of the McCook Property, and was in a position to influence and advise IDOT officials concerning the sale of the McCook property. The State of Illinois was a government that received in excess of $10,000 in federal benefits during each year in 2018 and 2019. […]

On or about January 21, 2019, MIRKHAEF caused State Senator A to be paid in excess of $15,000 in cash.
