San Leandro councilmember Bryan Azevedo charged with federal bribery for accepting $2,000 and a Vietnam trip to influence city contracts.
San Leandro City Councilmember Bryan Azevedo has been charged with federal bribery and lying to investigators, accused of accepting a $2,000 cash bribe and a trip to Vietnam in exchange for pushing city contracts to a modular housing company.
Prosecutors allege he used his influence to advance the company’s interests from August 2023 to June 2024, including supporting a homelessness emergency ordinance.
The case is linked to a broader probe involving former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and the Duong brothers, who are connected to the housing firm.
Azevedo, who has not been arrested, faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
