A former mayor of the tiny Los Angeles County city of Maywood has been charged alongside 10 others in a “pay-to-play” public corruption case, District Attorney George Gascón announced Thursday.

Ramon Medina, 61, was charged in a 34-count criminal complaint that alleges widespread corruption, including soliciting and receiving bribes, misappropriation of public funds, and embezzlement over a three-year period.
