New Orleans First Blk Female Mayor ARRESTED, Facing 50 Years & Blames Racism

New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell has been indicted on 18 federal counts, including conspiracy, wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to a grand jury. Prosecutors allege Cantrell misused taxpayer funds by taking her police bodyguard, Jeffrey Vappy, on at least 14 trips across the country and abroad, costing the city more than $70,000.

The indictment details overtime abuse, first-class travel against city rules, and over 15,000 WhatsApp messages between Cantrell and Vappy, which prosecutors say prove the two were engaged in a personal relationship while defrauding the city. Cantrell has denied the allegations, insisting her relationship with Vappy was professional and calling the charges politically and racially motivated.

If convicted, Cantrell could face up to 50 years in prison. She has entered a not guilty plea.
