A federal grand jury has indicted Oakland’s recalled Mayor Sheng Thao, a source with knowledge of the investigation told the Bay Area News Group — a stunning development in a federal public corruption inquiry that touched the highest levels of East Bay’s political class.

After months of maintaining her innocence, recalled Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is facing criminal charges from a federal grand jury indictment that will be announced Friday morning, according to reports.

The FBI raided Thao's Oakland home in 2024 along with several other locations, including properties belong to the Duong family - the family who's been the focus of a city probe into campaign contributions.
