Compton ex-councilman Isaac Galvan pleaded guilty to bribery and tax evasion for paying $70K in bribes to secure marijuana permits.
Former Compton City Councilman Isaac Galvan, 38, pleaded guilty to federal bribery and tax evasion charges for orchestrating a scheme to secure marijuana permits by paying $70,000 in bribes to former Baldwin Park councilman Ricardo Pacheco.
Galvan, who served on the Compton City Council until 2022, admitted to facilitating payments through his client, Yichang Bai, who is set to go to trial in February.
Pacheco, who pleaded guilty in 2020 to a separate bribery charge and is cooperating, allegedly voted in favor of W&F International’s permit and relocation request.
Galvan also failed to file tax returns from 2017 to 2020 and concealed over $115,000 in income, leading to a $323,557 restitution order.
His sentencing is set for June 8, 2026.
