EXCLUSIVE: LAPD Zeroes In on City Council Leaker
EXCLUSIVE: LAPD Zeroes In on City Council Leaker
Santos Leon, whose wife was the executive assistant to former Fed boss Ron Herrera, downloaded a recording program on his work laptop
By Michele McPhee -July 20, 2023
The LAPD may finally be close to arresting a suspect behind the recording and leaking of the City Council meetings last October that sparked one of the biggest scandals in recent Los Angeles political history. Multiple sources tell Los Angeles that a bookkeeper for the Los Angeles County Federation was the one who secretly recorded the racist backroom banter among the city’s most powerful politicians.
Santos Leon, who was the L.A. Fed’s Director of Finance for a decade until his resignation in July, has been questioned by LAPD detectives who found recording software on his work computer, which, several sources confirm, he planted in the office of his organization’s president, Ron Herrera, as well as in a conference room used for meetings.
