CA: Daly City Dentist Accused Of Arms Trafficking In Scandal Involving Leland Yee [View all]

DALY CITY (KPIX 5) — A Daly City dentist was among the 26 people indicted in a corruption scandal involving State Sen. Leland Yee. Dr. Wilson Lim is accused of setting up an arms deal that involved militants in the Philippines.

According to the complaint, Yee identified him to an undercover FBI agent as the source of the illegal weapons he wanted.

“Gun smuggling? That’s a big thing,” said Fernando Austria, a patient.
According to the FBI, the 60-year-old dentist met with Yee and the undercover agent on March 11th at a restaurant in San Francisco. That’s where they allegedly began setting up a $2 million arms deal for M16′s and shoulder launched weapons.
