Police raid California mayor's house, city hall in $14 million corruption probe

Officials raided Huntington Park City Hall and ten other locations as part of a corruption investigation into a $14 million aquatic center project, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman.
The investigation, named 'Operation Dirty Pond,' focuses on the potential misuse of public funds meant for the aquatic center construction, which began in November 2022.
Vice Mayor Arturo Flores stated that residents have seen no results from the project, which costs millions and remains an empty lot with dead grass.
Hochman affirmed their commitment to investigate the misuse of public funds, ensuring accountability for those in public office.
