LOS ANGELES – In a superseding indictment unsealed today that adds new details to the criminal case alleging a widespread corruption scheme led by former Los Angeles City Councilman Jose Huizar, a federal grand jury has added five defendants, including former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan, to the racketeering case that accuses Huizar and his close associates of illegally obtaining financial benefits from developers who, in exchange, sought favorable treatment on pending real estate development projects.
After being arrested in June pursuant to a criminal complaint, Huizar, 52, of Boyle Heights, was charged in July in a 34-count indictment that alleged a conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act in which Huizar agreed to accept at least $1.5 million in illicit financial benefits. That racketeering charge alleged 402 overt acts that Huizar and his co-conspirators committed to further their criminal enterprise, including bribery, honest services fraud, and money laundering. The 41-count superseding indictment unsealed today adds 50 overt acts to the RICO conspiracy count. The racketeering charge now also charges Chan, who formerly was the general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety and, more recently, was the city’s deputy mayor of economic development.
The five new defendants in the superseding indictment are:
Raymond She Wah Chan, also known as “She Wah Kwong,” 64, of Monterey Park, identified in previous court filings as “Individual 1,” who is charged with RICO conspiracy, bribery, honest services fraud and lying to federal agents;
Wei Huang, 55, a resident of Shenzhen, China, who also maintains a residence in San Marino, previously identified in court documents as “Chairman E,” who is the billionaire chairman and president of a global development company headquartered in China, and who faces charges of bribery, honest services fraud and Travel Act violations;
Shen Zhen New World I, LLC, one of Huang’s U.S.-based companies, which acquired the L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown in 2011 for $90 million and planned to redevelop it into a 77-story tower, and which is named in the same counts as Huang;
Dae Yong Lee, also known as “David Lee,” 56, of Bel Air, identified in prior court filings as “Developer C,” who is a developer with multiple properties in Los Angeles, and who is charged with bribery, honest services fraud and obstruction; and
940 Hill, LLC, a Lee-owned company that purchased a South Hill Street property in downtown Los Angeles in 2008 for $9 million and planned to redevelop it into a mixed-use development, and which is named in the same counts as Lee.
In addition to the RICO conspiracy charge, the indictment charges 14 counts of honest services wire fraud, two counts of honest services mail fraud, four counts of traveling interstate in aid of racketeering, nine counts of bribery, five counts of money laundering, one count of structuring cash deposits to conceal bribes, one count of making a false statement to a financial institution, one count of alteration of records in a federal investigation, two counts of making false statements to federal law enforcement, and one count of tax evasion. Each of the defendants is charged in various counts. Huizar, for example, is charged in 34 of the 41 counts.
“The scope of corruption outlined in this indictment is staggering,” said United States Attorney Nick Hanna. “As the indictment alleges, Huizar, Chan and their network of associates repeatedly violated the public trust by soliciting and accepting numerous cash bribes and other financial benefits, turning Huizar’s City Council seat into a money-making criminal enterprise. Powerful developers, operating through well-connected lobbyists, eagerly participated in the schemes to get preferential treatment for their downtown projects. This detailed indictment, which lays bare these backroom deals, should prompt a serious discussion as to whether significant reforms are warranted in Los Angeles city government.”
“The charges announced today allege wholesale corruption and outline the way in which Huizar and Chan brokered their powerful positions to gain personally, politically and financially by selling to the highest bidders in a stunning betrayal of the Angelenos they swore an oath to serve,” said Kristi K.

Huizar pleaded not guilty in August to the charges in the initial indictment. He is expected to be arraigned on the superseding indictment on December 7.
Chan and Lee have been directed to surrender to federal authorities. Chan and Lee are expected to be arraigned on the superseding indictment Tuesday afternoon in United States District Court in downtown Los Angeles.
940 Hill has been issued a summons to appear in United States District Court on Tuesday. Shen Zhen New World I has been issued a summons to appear December 7. Huang and his counsel have been notified that Huang has been named in the superseding indictment and that the United States government has issued a warrant for his arrest.
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The RICO conspiracy, honest services fraud, obstruction, and money laundering charges each carry a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. The charge of making false statements to a financial institution has a statutory maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. The bribery charges each carry a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.

Huizar is currently scheduled to go on trial on June 22.
With the charges against Chan, Huang and Lee, a total of nine individuals have been charged as a result of Operation “Casino Loyale,” the ongoing corruption investigation into Los Angeles City Hall being conducted by the FBI and the United States Attorney’s Office. Shen Zhen New World I and 940 Hill are the first corporate entities to be formally charged.
In addition to Esparza, Chiang and Kim, Morris Goldman, a longtime City Hall lobbyist, pleaded guilty to participating in a bribery scheme in which a developer agreed to make political donations in exchange for Huizar’s support of a project in the city’s Arts District.

Seattle – Two people arrested on the BNSF Railway tracks near Bellingham, Whatcom County, were charged with terrorist attack and other violence against a railroad carrier, and appeared in federal court today, announced U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran. Samantha Brooks, 27, and Ellen Reiche, 23, both of Bellingham, Washington, were arrested Saturday night in Bellingham as they allegedly placed a ‘shunt’ on the tracks. A shunt disrupts the low level electrical current on the tracks and can disable various safety features.
“Since January there have been 41 incidents of shunts placed on the BNSF tracks in Whatcom and Skagit counties—causing crossing guards to malfunction, interfering with automatic breaking systems, and, in one case, causing the near-derailment of tanks of hazardous chemicals,” said U.S. Attorney Moran. “These crimes endanger our community. I commend the agents from Customs and Border Protection, FBI, BNSF Police, and state and local partners who prioritized stopping this criminal conduct.”
According to the criminal complaint, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has been investigating the placement of shunts on the BNSF tracks since January 19, 2020. The shunt is comprised of wire and magnets that are stretched between the tracks, disrupting the systems that indicate a train is on the tracks. On ten occasions, shunts were placed in areas that disrupt the crossing guards where the tracks cross streets, so vehicles could have tried to cross the tracks unaware of the oncoming train. On the night of October 11, 2020, multiple shunts were placed in three different locations in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. The shunts triggered an automatic breaking system on a train that was transporting hazardous and combustible material. The emergency breaking then caused a portion of the train to decouple from the engine. Decoupling has the potential to cause a derailment—in this case—of tanker cars of flammable gas in a residential area.
Shortly after the first shunts were discovered in January, a claim of responsibility was published on an anarchist website.
“This claim of responsibility stated that the shunting activity was carried out in solidarity with Native American tribes in Canada seeking to prevent the construction of an oil pipeline across British Columbia, and with the express goal of disrupting BNSF operations and supplies for the pipeline,” says the complaint.
