Former Anaheim mayor pleads guilty to federal charges [View all]

Harish “Harry” Singh Sidhu, the former mayor of Anaheim, California, has pleaded guilty to federal charges for obstructing an FBI corruption investigation.

According to CNN, Sidhu was elected as mayor in 2018 after serving on the city council. He resigned in 2022 after an investigation into corruption surrounding the attempted sale of Angel Stadium was publicly disclosed.

The Department of Justice charged Sidhu with one count of obstruction of justice, one count of wire fraud and two counts of making false statements to a federal agency, according to the plea agreement. He pleaded guilty on Wednesday.

According to the American Kahani, Sidhu also admitted to making false statements about a helicopter he purchased and cheating California tax authorities.
