Former Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for participating in a bribery scheme tied to former Councilman Jose Huizar.
U.S. District Court Judge John Walter emphasized that corruption at any level will not be tolerated, highlighting the gravity of Chan's offenses.
Chan was convicted on multiple counts including racketeering conspiracy and bribery, exacerbating public corruption in Los Angeles for personal gain.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada stated that the sentence conveys that government should not be for sale, and pay-to-play schemes will be prosecuted.
