FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — The Fresno City Council issued a statement on Monday, saying it closed the internal investigations that were opened after the arrest of a council candidate.
Fresno City Attorney Andrew Janz submitted an open letter on Friday, October 30th, to Fresno City Council President Nelson Esparza requesting the council authorize an investigation into Councilman Miguel Arias and the District 3 Office.
That came after Councilman Arias called for an independent investigation into Janz the day before to find out how information about City Council candidate Naindeep Singh’s suspected DUI arrest was released to the media.
With respect to the concerns raised by Councilmember Arias regarding the conduct of the City Attorney pertaining to the arrest of Naindeep Singh, the Fresno City Council has reviewed the matter and has concluded that policies were followed by the City Attorney and the matter is closed. The City Attorney has withdrawn his letter seeking an investigation of Councilmember Arias, and that matter is closed as well.
