A Daly City, Calif., councilwoman pleaded not guilty to 12 counts of felony insurance and workers’ compensation fraud.

The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office filed the charges against Daly City Councilwoman Maggie Gomez last month, which also include attempted perjury from statements the politician allegedly made during deposition, according to the San Mateo County Times.

According to a county prosecutor, Gomez is accused of filing a fake workers’ compensation claim in August 2005, claiming she was injured during her work as a patient-relations manager at a city hospital. The district attorney’s office alleges that Gomez lied to company representatives about her physical condition, the Times reported.

Following a tip that the claim may be fraudulent, the district attorney’s office investigated Gomez, eventually witnessing her working out at a gym and walking long distances while shopping, activities her alleged injury would have prevented her from performing, according to the prosecutor.

She remains free on $100,000 bail and is due back in San Mateo County Superior Court Jan. 27.
