Former Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu agreed to plead guilty to federal charges linked to the now-defunct Angel Stadium sale on Aug. 16, a day after the Southern California city council decided to move ahead with and study several ideas to change the way the city does business in response to a recent corruption investigation.

The charges include obstruction of justice, wire fraud, and lying to federal investigators stemming in part from his actions during an effort to sell the city-owned stadium in 2020, according to court documents filed Aug. 16.
