FBI Arrests Puerto Rico Senator, 7 More In Corruption Probe

July 7, 2020

Martin Walsh

 

President Donald Trump argued for over a year that there was mass corruption taking place in Puerto Rico with government funds following Hurricane Maria in 2017 — and it was just revealed that he was correct the entire time.

 

Federal authorities charged and arrested two former top Federal Emergency Management Agency officials and a Federal Emergency Management Agency contractor in Puerto Rico last week in a massive corruption investigation.

 

A Puerto Rico senator awaiting trial on fraud charges was taken into custody by federal authorities in connection with an investigation into alleged corruption that also resulted in the arrests of seven others.

 

Fox News reports:

 

Abel Nazario, a 49-year-old currently serving in the U.S. territory’s 26th Senate, was apprehended as part of the probe.

 

Nazario was previously arrested by federal authorities in September 2018 on charges of wire fraud and falsifying documents, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Puerto Rico.

 

He was accused of defrauding his employees while serving as the mayor of Yauco, a southwestern town in Puerto Rico, where he was an elected official from 2000 until December 2016.

 

Prosecutors allege that, while he was mayor, municipal employees were required “to work two voluntary hours per day” — which the U.S. Department of Labor determined was a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
