A Silicon Valley city councilman has been charged with perjury after he allegedly lied about leaking a grand jury report to the San Francisco 49ers last year that detailed a purportedly unethical relationship between the team and the city council
Santa Clara City Councilmember Anthony Becker is accused of providing the secret report titled “Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Santa Clara City Council” to the team's former top spokesperson and a local media outlet in 2022, days ahead of its official release.
Al Guido, the team's president, and Larry MacNeil, the former CFO who worked extensively on the team's stadium project, were named in the indictment as witnesses who spoke to the criminal grand jury. The “Unsportsmanlike Conduct” report alleged that Becker and four other councilmembers regularly voted “in a manner that is favorable to the 49ers” and would routinely meet with the team's lobbyists but not disclose what was discussed.
