FBI agents searched the offices of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and City Atty. Mike Feuer as part of an investigation into the city’s handling of lawsuits filed over the disastrous 2013 rollout of a new billing system at the utility.
FBI agents fanned across the Los Angeles area on Monday, serving search warrants at multiple government offices, including the Department of Water and Power, as part of an investigation into how the city responded to the disastrous rollout of a new customer billing system.
Since then, a search warrant indicated that federal investigators are looking into the activities of several other city officials. Investigators are seeking evidence of a wide array of possible crimes, including bribery, kickbacks, extortion, mail fraud and money laundering, according to the warrant.Attorneys for Paradis did not respond to multiple requests for comment. An attorney for PricewaterhouseCoopers said he was still reviewing Monday’s events and declined to comment.
More than 10 agents arrived on the ninth floor, in an area shared by DWP employees and contractors for Ardent, a firm hired by the utility to provide cybersecurity services, according to a person familiar with the proceedings who was not authorized to speak publicly.
