Former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao Indicted
Describing the FBI’s armed raid at dawn as excessive, Thao asserted her innocence then and said that she was never informed of what they were looking for. By then the subject of a recall election that succeeded in November, Thao called on the FBI to declare she was not the subject of a corruption probe. (The FBI seized phones belonging to Thao and her partner Andre Jones.)
By Post Staff
A federal grand jury indicted former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao on criminal charges that have yet to be revealed, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The results of “a major law enforcement action” are expected to be announced Friday, an anonymous source told the Chronicle.
It is speculated that the FBI’s June 2024 raid of Thao’s Oakland home and three others related to the Duong family, who own Waste Solutions, is possibly related to the charges.

(The FBI seized phones belonging to Thao and her partner Andre Jones.)
At the time of The Post’s publication, The Chronicle had reported that Thao could not be reached for comment.
In her outgoing interview with KRON 4 last month, Thao said “I’m innocent. I’ve done nothing wrong.”
