Former California mayor charged in corruption probe
“No one is above the law. Public officials should be working to benefit the people, not their own bank account.”
Accused of soliciting bribes over a three-year period, former Maywood Mayor Ramon Medina and 10 others were charged Thursday in a 34-count complaint alleging widespread corruption. In addition to the former mayor, ex-City Manager Reuben Martinez and former city planning director David Mango have also been charged with multiple counts of grand theft and embezzlement.
Between September 2016 and June 2018, Medina, Martinez, and Mango allegedly authorized contractor Felipe Velarde to complete construction projects for Medina’s friends and supporters using public funds. The city paid Velarde $1.53 million during that time, while he used public funds to perform repair work at Mango’s home in Studio City.
