Dead Diver Is Brother of Ex-South Gate Treasurer

A diver whose body was recovered Thursday about three miles offshore near the Los Angeles Channel has been identified as the younger brother of convicted ex-South Gate treasurer Albert Robles.

Mahatma Gandhi Robles, 40, was diving in the area of a wreck Wednesday when he disappeared.

He had been aboard a vessel called the "Salty V."

The county coroner was investigating the cause of death. South Gate officials said Robles was a trained diver.

Gandhi Robles' brother was convicted last year on federal corruption charges.

He has not been sentenced.
