Raymond Chan, former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, has been convicted of fraud, bribery, racketeering and for 'giving false statements to investigators' in a corruption scandal.
LOS ANGELES — Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan was convicted Wednesday of racketeering, bribery, fraud and giving false statements to investigators in a sprawling pay-to-play corruption scandal at City Hall. The federal jury reached the guilty verdict less than 24 hours after lawyers finished closing arguments, the Los Angeles Times reported. LA BURGLARS TUNNELED THROUGH BUSINESSES TO REACH JEWELRY STORE: 'MUST HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF WORK' Sentencing was set for June 10.
Chan was the top executive at the Department of Building and Safety until 2016, when he became the deputy mayor in charge of economic development under Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was not implicated in the scandal. Chan held that job for slightly more than a year, then left city government to become a private-sector consultant, representing real estate developers.
