A construction contractor was sentenced to a year in prison Thursday for her role in the corruption scandal that brought down former San Francisco Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru and entangled a host of city officials.
Florence Kong, a millionaire whose construction companies did business with San Francisco, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of bribery and lying to the FBI in October. As part of the plea agreement, she admitted to bribing Nuru with cash, a Rolex watch worth $40,000 and the installation of a gate for his vacation home. She also admitted to lying to FBI agents about her relationship with Nuru.
