A federal judge sentenced former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan to 12 years in prison for a significant corruption case involving bribery and racketeering.
U.S. District Court Judge John F. Walter emphasized that "corruption at any level will not be tolerated," highlighting the severity of Chan's actions in undermining public trust.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada stated, "Chan abused his public office and sought to deepen the corruption of city politics for the benefit of his own business interests," reinforcing the importance of integrity in government.
Chan acknowledged his wrongdoing during the hearing, stating he took "full responsibility" for his actions, calling this moment the "most challenging time of my life."
