OAKLAND — Federal prosecutors on Tuesday filed charges against San Leandro City Councilman Bryan Azevedo, claiming the two-term councilman committed wire fraud and misled authorities investigating the alleged scheme.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Abraham Fine — who also is spearheading the prosecution of former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, her romantic partner and two East Bay businessman — filed the charges against Azevedo, whose house was raided by federal authorities in January.

The charges against Azevedo include conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, as well as false statements to a government agency.

Details of alleged misdeeds were not immediately available Tuesday.

Azevedo, a sheet-metal foreman by trade, was elected to a second term on the San Leandro council in November 2024 by fewer than 500 votes.

Earlier this year, federal prosecutors signaled that their investigation into Azevedo appeared to parallel their inquiry into Thao, who was indicted in January on a slew of federal charged in an alleged pay-to-play and bribery scheme involving her romantic partner, Andre Jones, and David and Andy Duong, who run Oakland’s recycling contractor, California Waste Solutions.

This past winter, San Leandro city officials were ordered to turn over records related to David and Andy Duong, the father-son duo helping to run that recycling company, along with the Vietnamese business association they led and an affordable housing project they attempted to launch in the Bay Area.

San Leandro officials said Tuesday that the charges against Azevedo were a “private personal matter.”
