The man prosecutors say led a crime syndicate based in San Francisco's Chinatown has pleaded not guilty to a new charge of racketeering.
Raymond Chow was in federal court today to enter the plea to a newly filed indictment that carries all the previous charges but also includes a racketeering count.
The indictment says he served as gang leader of a corrupt Chinatown community organization that bribed a state senator and laundered money, among other crimes.
The racketeering count alleges that Chow orchestrated a wide range of alleged criminal activity, including the bribing of state Sen. Leland Yee.
Yee is also charged with racketeering in the new indictment in addition to bribery charges. He is scheduled to enter a plea tomorrow.
