Jan 16, 2025, 09:21 PM
Former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has been criminally indicted by a federal grand jury following an FBI corruption investigation. The indictment was announced after Thao was recalled from office in November. The investigation, which began with FBI raids in June 2024, also involved the homes and businesses of the Duong family, owners of California Waste Solutions, an Oakland recycling contractor. Thao and her longtime partner, Andre Jones, were both indicted. The investigation has touched on allegations of campaign finance violations and a 'straw donor' scheme, with federal officials planning to disclose further details in a press conference.
