The FBI executed three federal search warrants on Tuesday, targeting the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office and the homes of two top county tax officials in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest public corruption investigations to hit California’s East Bay in years.
Federal agents descended on the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office in Martinez, along with residences connected to longtime County Assessor Gus Kramer and Assistant Assessor Vince Robb, who was recently elected to replace Kramer.
Investigators have reportedly been seeking evidence related to wire fraud and other potential offenses. No criminal charges have been announced yet.
