‘Fat Leonard,' who fled San Diego before Navy bribery sentencing, extradited | San Diego News Daily

The extradition of convicted defense contractor Leonard “Fat Leonard” Francis to the U.S. as part of the Venezuelan prisoner swap is the latest twist in a decade-long salacious saga and bribery scheme that swept up dozens of American Navy officers. And, a fugitive who slipped out of the hands of border officials after his girlfriend’s body was found decomposing in the trunk of a car in Tijuana last year was taken into custody in Orange County. Plus, a holiday-themed cruise in Mission Bay will set sail for a great cause.
