Nuru was arrested on Monday, along with well-known restaurateur Nick Bovis, and is accused of “corruption, bribery kickbacks and side deals,” according to a U.S. attorney. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

“In this economic climate and given the considerable extra expense to a customer, it is remarkable that Nuru has contractors from San Francisco driving three and a half hours one way to work on his vacation home,” the criminal complaint reads. “Nuru appears to be using specific contractors with business with the City and County of San Francisco for this work.” Read the entire criminal complaint below.
