The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Curren Price, a city councilman, with embezzlement and perjury on Tuesday, saying the charges were “the result of a thorough investigation into allegations of public corruption.”
Price was hit with five counts of embezzlement, three counts of perjury, and two counts of conflict of interest. A criminal complaint obtained by CBS Los Angeles outlines, among other things, an alleged pay-to-play scheme in which Price’s wife received more than $150,000 from developers right before Price voted to approve their projects between 2019 and 2021. He allegedly failed to disclose those funds to the government. A spokesperson for Price told thethat he had not seen the charges.
“Curren Price is a long-standing public servant who has given his life to the city of Los Angeles,” she added. “He looks forward to defending himself once he’s had an opportunity to address these charges.” After learning of the charges, he has since stepped down as council president Pro Tempore and “all related leadership responsibilities,” he said in aobtained by Eyewitness News.
