Three Heads of Utilities in San Francisco had been found guilty of fraud under a federal corruption probe. The jury had already given them verdicts.
Harlan Kelly, former head of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, was convicted by the jury of six out of eight charges of two fraud schemes.
Kelly’s verdict was released last Friday according to the report of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Based on the court proceedings, it was revealed that Kelly tried to steer a city streetlight project to a contractor in exchange for the construction of Kelly’s home which will have a meager construction service fee.
