Harry Sidhu, former Anaheim Mayor, was sentenced to two months in federal prison for his role in a public corruption case affecting a $320 million stadium deal. He obstructed federal investigators, leading to the failure of the stadium sale to the Anaheim Angels. Sidhu pleaded guilty to multiple felonies, including obstruction of justice and wire fraud, and admitted to secret dealings over campaign contributions. A judge underscored the breach of trust with his actions, resulting in not only prison time but also fines and probation.
Sidhu betrayed the city of Anaheim while serving as mayor, highlighting the consequences and breach of trust that warrant incarceration.
Prosecutors accused Sidhu of lying to FBI agents and demonstrated that he had hoped to secure a $1 million campaign contribution from the stadium deal.
The corruption scandal involving Sidhu resulted in the Anaheim City Council canceling the $320 million stadium sale due to misconduct and pay-to-play schemes.
Sidhu pleaded guilty to four felonies, including obstruction of justice and wire fraud, acknowledging attempts to evade California sales tax on a helicopter purchase.
