The indictment caps the investigation into LaToya Cantrell, whose New Orleans’ tenure has been marked by achievements and turmoil.
A federal grand jury has indicted New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, concluding a lengthy corruption probe into the city’s first female mayor.
Cantrell’s attorney, Eddie Castaing, confirmed to The Associated Press that an indictment was returned Friday, with her name read aloud in federal court as a defendant. The specific charges have not yet been disclosed.
The indictment caps a years-long investigation into the two-term Democrat, whose tenure has been marked by both early achievements and deep political turmoil.
