Her “family members and close associates” received 48 checks from Jones-controlled entities for nearly $157,000. Henriquez has been charged with one count of Misappropriation of Public Money in violation of California Penal Code section 424; six counts of Bribery in violation of Penal Code section 68, and twenty-three counts of Financial Conflict of Interest in a Government Contract, in violation of Government Code section 1090.
