San Diego County investigators allegedly took bribes to ignore violations in residential care facilities. San Bernardino County investigators allowed abuse to continue for over a year, according to their own records.
In San Diego County, CBS8.com broke the news that Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) employees were under investigation for accepting bribes.
Officials confirm the employment of three state inspectors has been terminated after they were accused of taking thousands of dollars in bribes from operators of local residential care facilities for the elderly.
Records released to CBS8.com focused on Ambassador Senior Retreat in Mira Mesa.
Court records show the operator of the facility, Iris Ramirez, admitted to giving the inspector $2,800 in cash, and paying $1,044 for the inspector's vacation flight to the Philippines.
