Apple’s chief security officer is facing accusations that he offered bribes in the form of iPads to California state officials in exchange for concealed firearms (CCW) licenses, according to an indictment published Monday.
The accusations are part of an investigation that began two years ago into questionable practices by the sheriff’s office, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, which conducted the investigation. The probe revealed Undersheriff Rick Sung, aided by Captain James Jensen in one instance, held up the issuance of the firearms licenses, “refusing to release them until the applicants gave something of value,” the district attorney’s office stated.
