New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell was indicted Friday in what prosecutors called a yearslong scheme to hide a romantic relationship with her bodyguard, who is accused of being paid as if he was working even when they met alone in apartments and traveled to vineyards for wine tasting.

Criminal charges filed against Mayor LaToya Cantrell follow a years-long probe by the FBI into how she and people around her became involved in alleged corruption.

LaToya Cantrell has been under a corruption investigation that has cast a shadow over her final term as mayor. The specific charges were not immediately clear.
