April 4, 2010
Business allegedly was steered to company that was co-owned by district administrator
From The Los Angeles Times: A grand jury has indicted a top Los Angeles Unified School District manager for allegedly funneling business from the district's massive school-building effort to a company he co-owned. The indictment charges Bassam Raslan with nine counts, accusing him of conflict of interest. But it also takes the school district to task for failing to prevent the alleged crime even though it knew of his interest in the company.
