Tax fraud brings ex-city administrator prison term
LOS ANGELES – (INT) - Robert Rizzo, the former top administrator in the City of Bell, was sentenced Monday to 33 months in federal prison in a tax fraud scheme.

It was designed to hide part of the massive income he was bilking from the small Los Angeles County city.

Judge George King said Rizzo’s activities demonstrated “greed in cheating the taxpayers of the United States after cheating the citizens of Bell.”

The prison term will run consecutive to another Rizzo is expected to receive Wednesday when he is sentenced in Los Angeles Superior Court in his corruption case.

Rizzo, 60, of Torrance, pleaded guilty in January to federal charges.
