'Operation Dirty Pond': Huntington, California, city hall and mayor's home raided in $14M public funds probe | 27 Feb 2025 | A city hall building, the mayor's house, and some residences of current and former council members in Huntington, California, were raided on Wednesday in a major corruption probe of a $14 million project, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman. The investigation, named "Operation Dirty Pond," has been focusing on the "potential misuse of millions of dollars in public funds allocated for the construction of an aquatic center" since November 2022, the DA's Office said... Former Huntington Park city council member Linda Caraballo reportedly said she sent a 282-page dossier to the DA's Office many years ago to alert them to alleged corruption. Caraballo said to the local station that "big time city officials from the city manager all the way down to the shot caller" should be prepared. "Heads are going to roll and a lot of people are going to be really put into some serious problems," Caraballo said to FOX 11. "They all should find lawyers right away."
