Montebello Councilman Jack Hadjinian took thousands in campaign cash, goods, from Noguez, Salari, while serving stint on Property Appeals Board; Now he is under investigation


Got to give a BIG SHOUT OUT today to Montebello City Councilman Jack Hadijian who is now under a formal probe by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for taking campaign cash in exchange for his participation and votes as a voting member of the Los Angeles County Property Appeals Board.  Jack has avoiding countless phone calls from me, but we kind enough to contradict himself in a bizarre written statement sent to the Los Cerritos Community Newspaper...

Montebello City Councilman Jack Hadjinian took more than $5,000 in contributions for his successful campaign in 2011 from embroiled property tax agent Ramin Salari and Los Angeles County Assessor John Noguez at the exact same time he served as an appointed member of the Los Angeles County Property Appeals Assessment Board.
David Demerjian, who oversees the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office of Public Integrity, told Los Cerritos Community Newspaper on Monday that a formal investigation into Hadjinian has been launched.
“We have a case opened on Mr. Hadjinian,” said Demerjian.  The District Attorney’s Office would not elaborate into their investigation into the councilman.
Salari and Noguez are two of the central figures in a massive criminal probe by law enforcement officials into alleged fraud, bribery and money laundering allegations.
