The Antioch bribery case involves DeNova Homes' father-son duo, David and Trent Sanson, accused of attempting to bribe a councilmember with a hidden $5,000 cash payoff in a travel mug. They reportedly sought assurances for the release of a $12 million bond related to their Aviano development. However, legal records show they addressed concerns through valid channels, leading to quick city council actions and project completion. Meanwhile, allegations against them grew, with a defense claiming political motivations behind the accusations following the councilmember's report to the FBI.
The alleged bribery involved a $5,000 cash payoff hidden in a branded travel mug, aimed at influencing a councilmember regarding the DeNova Homes’ Aviano development.
Despite the alleged cash bribe scheme, records show that DeNova Homes was able to successfully address the city's breach of agreement through legal channels.
The city's officials acted swiftly to resolve development issues, culminating in a unanimous vote to approve the Aviano project while allegations of bribery surfaced.
Attorney for David Sanson maintains innocence, suggesting the case might stem from political motivations against his client amidst ongoing federal investigations.
