Tip of the iceberg - from the San Francisco Examiner:
Harlan Kelly, head of SFPUC, charged with fraud in widening Nuru scandal
Harlan Kelly, the general manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, stepped down from his role Monday after being charged with fraud for allegedly trading insider information about a lucrative city contract for a paid family vacation.
The March 2016 trip to China is just one of the bribes Kelly is alleged to have accepted from permit expediter Walter Wong, who agreed to cooperate with the FBI investigation into City Hall corruption when the U.S. Attorney’s Office charged him in June.
Kelly is also alleged to have underpaid for repair work done by Wong’s construction company on his Inner Sunset home, according to the newly filed complaint against him.
And of course:
“I am not guilty of these allegations,” Kelly said. “It is painful for me to end a 35-year career as a result of false allegations, but it is simply not possible for me to do my job to the best of my ability while also defending myself.”
Guilty as hell and lying about it too. Classic case of Honest services fraud.
