SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón announced Friday he has filed felony corruption charges against two former city employees and a well-known political consultant.

Former Human Rights Commission Commissioner Nazly Mohajer, former HRC employee Zula Jones, and political consultant Keith Jackson are facing felony bribery and money laundering charges, Gascón’s office said in a statement.

Jackson, a former San Francisco school board president and fundraiser for former state Sen. Leland Yee, is also facing additional charges of grand theft and campaign finance fraud.

“Any perversion of the public trust will be met with severe consequences,” said Gascón. “Corruption casts a long shadow on our institutions and the public’s notions of fairness. This is a sad day for San Francisco, and we have a lot of work to do to repair the people’s confidence in city government.”

Citing court documents, the DA’s office is alleging that Jackson, Jones, and Mohajer solicited and accepted $20,000 in bribes from an undercover FBI agent in exchange for promised political access and preferential treatment in connection with city contracts.

“In a separate scheme, defendant Jackson – who was a board member of the San Francisco Board of Education between 1995 and 1998 – is charged with grand theft for falsely promising a woman in 2012 that he could place a child in a preferred San Francisco public school in exchange for money,” the DA’s office said.‘SHRIMP BOY’CHOW LINK

Federal agents had also previously linked Jackson to one-time gang leader Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow. Both men were named in a 2014 federal indictment for participating in a criminal conspiracy to help alleviate Yee’s campaign debt.

Attorneys for Chow wrote in court documents filed last year that Lee, Mohajer and Jones met with undercover FBI agents on April 6, 2012, and Jackson attended the beginning of the meeting.

During the meeting, one agent was introduced as a person who had raised $10,000 to cover Lee’s campaign debt and another as an entrepreneur interested in building senior assisted living facilities. The meeting went on for 20 to 25 minutes and Lee talked to the agent about bringing private business interests and development to San Francisco, according to court documents.

Lee denied any wrongdoing once Chow’s attorneys, Tony Serra and Curtis Briggs, made the allegations. The district attorney’s office made no allegations against Lee today and it is unclear exactly what activity the new criminal charges are referring to.

On Jan. 8, Chow was found guilty of 162 charges, including the 2006 slaying of Allen Leung, who preceded Chow as the leader of the Chinese fraternal group Ghee Kung Tong, and conspiracy to murder another rival, Jim Tat Kong, a member of a San Francisco street gang. He was also convicted on 154 counts of money laundering.

Yee and Jackson both pleaded guilty to racketeering charges last year.

The San Francisco District Attorney Bureau of Investigations, the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are jointly conducting this ongoing investigation the DA’s office said.

If convicted, Jackson could be sentenced to about 11 years in state prison.

Mohajer and Jones could be sentenced to over 7 years in prison.BAY CITY NEWS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS REPORT
