From the Mint Press News:
The Calderons “certainly think of themselves as something of a political dynasty,” said Louis DeSipio, a political science professor at the University of California, Irvine…According to the search warrant affidavit, agents had begun an investigation of Calderon and his brothers in October 2007, and there was “probable cause to believe” he had committed the crimes of conspiracy, bribery, fraud and extortion by, among other things, accepting $60,000 in bribes from “Rocky Patel” in exchange for supporting the tax-credit legislation and hiring Patel’s purported girlfriend to work in the state Senate.
