An easy list to help you keep track of corruption trials and allegations in Los Angeles City Hall.
Los Angeles is no stranger to scandal, but the case of Jose Huizar proved to be as complex as they come. A series of other recent allegations and accusations also haven’t done much for confidence in City Hall.
The Huizar corruption case, and the broad federal investigation of city officials, were dubbed by the feds “Operation Loyale,” a play on words taken from the James Bond film, Casino Royale.– The upcoming trial of former top-level city official – City Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas in 2021 was charged with bribery after allegedly securing his son a paid position and scholarship at USC in return forAt the time of the alleged crime, Ridley-Thomas held a seat on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. His prosecution is not directly tied to City Hall. His trial for bribery is expected in 2023. Ridley-Thomas was suspended from the council and his salary was put on hold — but his paycheck has since been reinstated.
Such prosecutions made history at City Hall, where the most memorable corruption case discussed among city officials dated to 1969 when L.A. City Councilmember Thomas D. Shepard was conviction for corruption after the San Fernando Valley-based city council member went to jail for bribery. The Shepard scandal led to broad reforms to the city’s zoning and land use rules.
Amid waves of outrage, Martinez resigned from her powerful council president position, as well as her District 6 seat on the council. Herrera also resigned his post. Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly taking part in a bribery and fraud scheme during his previous post as an L.A. County Supervisor.
