San Diego- Testimony resumes today in the “Strippergate” federal corruption trial of two San Diego city councilmen, a Las Vegas lobbyist and a council aide.

Councilmen Ralph Inzunza and Michael Zucchet are accused of taking bribes from strip club owner Michael Galardi [pictured] in return for help in repealing San Diego’s “no-touch” dancing ordinance.

Galardi lobbyist Lance Malone is also charged in the case, along with David Cowan, a former aide to the late councilman Charles Lewis.

The trial has been in recess since Thursday, when FBI Special Agent Leonard Davey testified that informant Tony Montagna saw strippers write checks to politicians and get reimbursed by Cheetah’s manager, John D’Intino.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Cook will continue questioning the FBI agent Wednesday.

Montagna testified over nine days that Galardi, D’Intino and Malone were all in on a plan to bribe the councilmen. Galardi and D’Intino pleaded guilty in 2003.

Inzunza, Zucchet, Lewis and Malone were charged nearly two years ago with extortion, wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Cowan is charged with lying to the FBI.

Lewis died last summer of complications from liver disease.
