Two San Francisco contractors on May 27 pleaded guilty in federal court to the charge of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud in a city public works bribery scandal.
The pleas follow the Sept. 17, 2020 federal complaint charging Alan Varela, 59, president of Oakland-based construction firm ProVen Management. and William Gilmartin II, 60, the firm's vice president, with bribery of a public official.
