Richard Alarcon, the Los Angeles councilman and former state senator, has told city officials he expects to be indicted Wednesday following an investigation into whether he lives in his district. The indictment is expected this afternoon. David Zahniser and Jack Weiss report:
Prosecutors have been trying for much of the last year to determine whether Alarcon lied about his residency, which can be prosecuted as a felony. They served search warrants in January on two homes owned by Alarcon’s wife, Flora Montes de Oca -- one in Panorama City, which Alarcon claimed as his residence, and another in Sun Valley.
