Federal prosecutors are seeking a 13-year prison sentence for former Los Angeles City Councilman Jose Huizar for his role in an expansive bribery scheme, according to court documents filed Thursday.
After a years-long federal investigation, Huizar pleaded guilty in January to charges of racketeering and tax evasion, admitting that he extorted at least $1.5 million from real estate developers.
Huizar is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 26 by U.S. District Judge John F. Walter.
Ahead of the sentencing, the government filed documents Thursday asking the court to sentence Huizar to 13 years and to order him to pay $1,019,174 in restitution to the city of Los Angeles.

Bet a lot of people around here wish Donald Trump would get a prison sentence like that! But nope, it's Sleazy Huizy taking the hit.
