A property tycoon from China has admitted to bribing a top San Francisco public official in a corruption scandal that has gripped City Hall.
Northern California U.S. Attorney Ismail Ramsey's office announced Wednesday that 70-year-old Zhang Li admitted to bribing former Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru. Zhang entered a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office, in which the charge would be dismissed in three years if Zhang abides by the terms.
According to court documents, Zhang bribed Nuru during a trip he took to China in 2018, providing the former public works director with food, drinks, luxury lodging and transportation. The bribes were intended to provide favorable treatment on decisions involving the development of a mixed-use property at 555 Fulton Street.
Along with the guilty plea, the company will pay a $1 million fine and enter into a corporate compliance program, prosecutors said.
