SAN FRANCISCO (BCN)
Federal prosecutors in San Francisco announced Thursday they've charged the former vice president and group manager of Recology -- the company contracted by the city to handle waste collection -- with bribery and money laundering.
John Francis Porter, 37, is the second Recology executive to be charged in the ever-widening city corruption case, as federal prosecutors also charged former Recology group and government community relations manager Paul Frederick Giusti with bribery and money laundering back in November.
