In a significant development in San Francisco's ongoing corruption probe, former Fremont city manager Mark Danaj and San Francisco restaurateur Nick Bovis have pleaded guilty to fraud charges. Alameda County prosecutors found Danaj guilty of using his city credit card for personal expenses, while Bovis, the owner of Lefty O’Doul’s restaurant, was sentenced to nine months in prison for funneling bribes through his children's charity to facilitate holiday parties for Mohammed Nuru, the former head of the Department of Public Works (DPW). During sentencing, the judge remarked to Bovis, "You are the face of private corruption in San Francisco for this scandal." This case is part of a larger investigation into bribery for city business, which has seen several city and business officials imprisoned. The scandal, which first came to light in January 2020 following a 2019 investigation into Nuru by the Marina Times, has implicated various individuals, including a former building inspections worker who also pleaded guilty to accepting bribes and Bovis's attempt to bribe an airport commissioner.
