Former California senator Leland Yee was released from federal prison on Friday after serving a five-year sentence for a corruption scandal, officials said.

Yee, 71, was released from the Federal Correctional Institution, Big Spring, in Texas, according to a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Yee, a Democrat who represented San Francisco, pleaded guilty in 2015 to racketeering charges. He admitted to taking bribes and trafficking guns from the Philippines. He was also linked to Chinatown crime syndicate leader Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow.

During a 26-year career, the politician served on the San Francisco school board and California Assembly and Senate. He ran for secretary of state, but quit the race following his arrest that resulted from a years-long federal investigation.
