A former and a current San Francisco city employee face multiple felony charges for allegedly making official city contracts worth more than $1 million for their own financial gains, San Francisco prosecutors said.
Lanita Henriquez, director of San Francisco's Community Challenge Grant Program , and Rudolph Dwayne Jones, founder of his company RDJ Enterprises and a former city employee, were each charged with six counts of bribery and 23 counts of financial conflict of interest in a government contract. They were also charged with one count of misappropriating public money, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office said in a statement Tuesday.
Between July 2016 and July 2020, Henriquez, as CCG director, made 23 contracts worth over $1.4 million between the City and County of San Francisco and entities controlled by Jones, according to the District Attorney's Office.
