Robles guilty
Albert T. Robles, the former political boss in the city of South Gate, goes down on thirty counts of soliciting kickbacks, depriving the electorate of his honest services, bribery and money laundering. U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson let Robles remain free on bond until sentencing Oct. 24. Robles' longtime friend, George Garrido, also was convicted for receiving $437,500 in an alleged payoff for the award of a garbage and recycling contract. LAT
