Washington D.C. lo describirán como el "que gobernó mientras
sus secuaces saqueaban las arcas del gobierno."
Seria interesante saber porque ya no se oye a Miriam Ramírez
jactarse de sus conexiones en yanquilandia, será porque los
PNP están quemados en los EUA?

Puerto Rico Officials Charged With Corruption
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
[S] AN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- A former Puerto Rican
education secretary,
the Chamber of Commerce president and 16 others have been
charged in a
corruption scandal, U.S. prosecutors said Wednesday.
Victor Fajardo, who served as the U.S. territory's education
secretary from
1994 to 2000, turned himself in to the FBI early Wednesday.
Nine others
were also arrested in the scandal.
Warrants were issued for the arrest of the remaining seven.
All were charged by U.S. prosecutors with theft from
programs receiving
federal funds, extortion and money laundering, prosecutors said.
Among those arrested were Richard D'Acosta, president of
Puerto Rico's
Chamber of Commerce and Jose Omar Cruz, deputy education
secretary under
Fajardo, said acting U.S. Attorney Guillermo Gil Bonar.
D'Acosta allegedly participated in the scheme through a
government
contractor, World Learning Systems, which he headed along
with his wife,
Victoria Vargas. She also was charged.
Gil estimated the scheme involved $4.3 million in diverted
federal funds
and kickbacks. He could not say how much was federal money.
Some $1 million was diverted to the coffers of the
pro-statehood New
Progressive Party, in power at the time, Gil said.
Much of the U.S. government money was supposed to fund
computers and
computer training for teachers, prosecutors said.
"At the beginning of 1995, Fajardo and Jose Omar Cruz --
with the aim of
complying with some quotas imposed by their party -- began
to ask for money
from some contractors," Gil said.
Lawyers for the accused weren't immediately available for
comment. If
convicted, they could face prison sentences of 10 to 20 years.
Those charged Tuesday by a federal grand jury include other
lower-level
officials and businesspeople who allegedly had contracts
with the
Department of Education.
Among them is schools consultant Jesus Emilio Rivera Class,
who allegedly
was involved in giving Fajardo more than $750,000 in bribes.
Rivera Class,
who was arrested in Orlando, Fla., Wednesday, was
cooperating with
investigators in an immunity deal, prosecutors said.
Authorities said the money was deposited in the account of
National
Consulting Group Inc., a company owned by Fajardo's
sister-in-law, Maria
Ramos Matos, also facing charges.
Prosecutors did not say what happened to the $750,000.
The case is the latest in a string of government corruption
scandals in
Puerto Rico.
Angel Luis Ocasio Ramos, deputy chief of staff to then-Gov.
Pedro Rossello
during the mid-1990s, was arrested in December on two counts
of conspiracy
to interfere with commerce by extortion. He has denied the
accusations.
The pro-statehood Rossello stepped down in 2000. His
successor, Gov. Sila
Calderon, opposes statehood and was elected in part by
voters angry with
growing corruption.
In Rossello's last year in office, high-ranking
administrators were
convicted of stealing $2.2 million meant for AIDS patients.
Rossello was
not linked to any wrongdoing.
