\"brownAn executive at a San Luis Obispo-based real estate development company was arrested Monday on a federal grand jury indictment alleging he paid a local politician more than $95,000 in bribes and gifts, officials stated<\/span><\/p>\n

In exchange, Ryan Wright got benefits for the company\u2019s development projects. Wright allegedly covered up the bribery scheme by forging documents, according to the Department of Justice.<\/span><\/p>\n

A federal grand jury indicted the CEO of a San Luis Obispo-based real estate development business for allegedly paying a local legislator over $95,000 in bribes and gifts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryan Wright was arrested on Monday, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

In exchange for the bribes and gifts, Wright received advantages for the business’s development initiatives. Wright reportedly used document forgeries to conceal the bribery plot.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"brownWright, 37, a.k.a. \u201cRyan Petetit,\u201d of Grover Beach, was arrested on a three-count indictment charging him with conspiracy, falsification of records, and obstruction of justice. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment was returned on Oct. 4 and unsealed today.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the indictment, from at least June 2014 to May 2017, Wright conspired with his business partner, identified in court documents as \u201cCo-Conspirator 1,\u201d to bribe an elected official identified as \u201cCounty Supervisor 1\u201d with financial benefits, including money and gifts totaling more than $95,000. <\/span><\/p>\n

In exchange, County Supervisor 1 advocated for Wright\u2019s real estate development company\u2019s projects and prospective projects with City of San Luis Obispo officials and voted for Wright\u2019s company\u2019s projects on the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wright, Co-Conspirator 1, and County Supervisor 1 then covered up the bribes by using County Supervisor 1\u2019s consulting company to funnel and conceal bribe payments to County Supervisor 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

County Supervisor 1 then provided false information on his 2015 and 2016 annual state conflict of interest disclosure forms, requiring him to report income he had received. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through the consulting company, Wright allegedly paid bribes to County Supervisor 1 and flew him on a jet to watch a Major League Baseball playoff game hosted by the San Francisco Giants, the supervisor\u2019s favorite team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To conceal the scheme, in response to a federal grand jury subpoena served on his development company, Wright allegedly caused the company to produce falsified records for the FBI.<\/span><\/p>\n

If convicted of all charges, Wright faces up to 35 years in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation are investigating this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. States Attorneys Thomas F. Rybarczyk and Daniel J. O\u2019Brien of the Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section are prosecuting this case.<\/span><\/p>\n
