A former executive director of the San José Police Officers’ Association has received probation after pleading guilty to illegally importing opioids. The ruling, made by a judge, allows the individual to avoid prison time despite the serious nature of the charges. This case concludes a scandal that began nearly two years ago. In a separate case, Francisco Perez, a former high-ranking official in the Cook County Assessor's office, pleaded guilty to bribery charges, admitting to accepting sports tickets and meals in exchange for assistance with property assessments. These developments highlight ongoing issues related to corruption and illegal drug activities in various sectors.
