(KRON) -- Former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is now facing criminal charges, according to a San Francisco Chronicle report published Thursday. The Chronicle, citing anonymous sources, reports Thao has been criminally indicted by a federal grand jury. The indictment comes after last year's FBI raid of Thao's Oakland home. Thao was recalled in November's election after serving two years as Oakland's mayor. Thao's final day in office was in December. Since the FBI raid back in June, Thao has repeatedly claimed her innocence and said she is not the target of the investigation. In her exit interview as mayor last month, Thao told KRON4, "I'm innocent. I've done nothing wrong." "(The FBI raid) definitely had a huge negative impact on the recall," Thao said. "The FBI has told me I’m not the target of this, although they won’t come out (and say it)."

The FBI, along with other federal officials, will be holding a news conference Friday at 9 a.m. in San Francisco to announce "a significant law enforcement action." KRON4 made multiple inquiries to independently confirm Thao's indictment. We are awaiting a response. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
