Sheng Thao, the former mayor of Oakland, has been criminally indicted by a federal grand jury following a significant FBI investigation into public corruption. This indictment comes just two months after Thao was recalled from her position, reportedly due to concerns over rising crime in the city. The investigation, which allegedly involved her boyfriend, has raised serious allegations against Thao and has become a focal point of public scrutiny. Federal prosecutors are expected to formally address the charges against her in the coming days.
