: Legal Pad | LAFormer CalPERS officials accused of violating state corporations code
By Richard Binder
A civil suit has been filed against former top California pension fund officials Federico Buenrostro Jr. and Alfred R. Villalobos, alleging that Buenrostro took tens of thousands of dollars' worth of gifts from Villalobos, a former Los Angeles deputy mayor who now works as a go-between for investment firms.
Buenrostro was the chief executive of the California Public Employees' Retirement System from 2002 to 2008.
The suit, filed by the state attorney general's office in Los Angeles County Superior Court, says Villalobos and his company, Arvco Capital Research, obtained more than $47 million in "undisclosed and unlawful commissions for selling approximately $4.8 billion worth of securities to CalPERS" from 2005 to 2009.
The complaint seeks civil penalties, disgorgement of profits and restitution to state pension fund investors of $95 million from Villalobos and Buenrostro.
