Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas and a former dean at the University of Southern California have been indicted on federal bribery and corruption charges that involved political support for county contracts, prosecutors say.
Oct. 14, 2021, 1:50 AM UTCLOS ANGELES — Longtime politician Mark Ridley-Thomas and a former dean at the University of Southern California were indicted Wednesday on federal bribery and corruption charges involving political support for county contracts, prosecutors said.
The 20-count indictment alleges that Ridley-Thomas supported county contracts with the school worth millions of dollars in exchange for Flynn's helping a relative of Ridley-Thomas'. Ridley-Thomas supported county contracts with the school, including an amendment to a contract worth an expected $9 million, prosecutors said.
Ridley-Thomas' relative is not named in the indictment, which says the relative was a member of the state Assembly from 2013 to Dec. 31, 2017. At the time, the university's social work school faced a multimillion-dollar budget deficit, the indictment says. At an earlier point, Ridley-Thomas wrote Flynn in an email that"your wish is my command" when she asked about the contract amendment, the indictment says.
