GLENDALE — A 54-year-old Glendale man was arrested Friday on federal charges that he accepted more than $3 million in kickbacks for construction contracts while overseeing building projects at Pasadena's Huntington Memorial Hospital, officials said.
FBI agents arrested David Hamedany at his Glendale home in connection with 12 counts of mail fraud for allegedly making illegal payments on behalf of the hospital to the six construction companies during the kickback scheme, according to a U.S. District Court grand jury indictment.
He worked as the hospital's construction director from June 2006 to June 2010, during which he was authorized to approve the contracts, according to U.S. attorney's office.
