A Los Angeles federal judge on April 16 unsealed 33 FBI search warrants and related documents that detail a probe into alleged unethical and illegal activity at the L.A. City Attorney’s Office and the Department of Water and Power.

The government’s investigation came in the wake of the DWP’s botched launch of a new billing system in 2013 that cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
