The US Attorney’s Office in Sacramento has decided not to pursue public corruption charges against former state Senator Don Perata of Oakland. In a statement released Wednesday, acting US Attorney Lawrence Brown said: “Prosecutors from both this office and the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice have reviewed the matter involving Senator Don Perata and have determined not to pursue criminal charges. This office and the Criminal Division in Washington, D.C. worked collaboratively in undertaking this review. Each office reached its decision independently based on our respective analyses of the facts and the law. Beyond that, in accordance with departmental policy, we cannot disclose our deliberative process.”
