FBI agents raided San Juan's municipal building on Tuesday amid an investigation into purchasing practices conducted by city officials, including Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz.
A spokesman for the agency told news service elnuevodia.com that Tuesday's raid was related to an ongoing investigation into whether the mayor's office and other city officials had shown favoritism when the city agreed to a contract with the company BR Solutions for $4.7 million over two years.
BR Solutions is owned by Leonel Pereira O'Neill, a Puerto Rican businessman who has donated to the campaigns of several local politicians, including Cruz's, according to the news service.
The raid came several weeks after President Trump singled out Cruz while attacking Puerto Rican officials for the slow recovery efforts on the island, accusing the municipal officials of allowing widespread corruption.
"It was a total mess, it was corrupt - couldn't be worse," Trump said in an interview last month.

“Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz.”
I hope they find a pile of corruption on her and she goes to jail!
Rule #1 - Don’t poke the bear.
Rule #2 - Donald Trump IS the bear.
“...including Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz.”
Wasn’t she the loud mouthed snot who bitched about Trump after the hurricane?
“Favoritism in contracts...”. Anyone familiar with ANY Latin American country (yes, Puerto Rico) knows you can make that claim stick anywhere you look. They even call it the “Mordida”. Whatever it is, if there’s no bribe, it don’t happen.
Gave ‘em a few weeks to hide or destroy evidence. Think they’ll find anything?
“including Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz.”
the same anti-Trump bitch who yelled at everyone how DJT didnt help the PR people...yet we had more than a feeling she was more corrupt than anyone there.
MSNBC: Trump hates Latinos....
She needs to answer one question how she got a custom t shirt done overnite
Better known as “the bite”.
They no doubt had much probable cause, unlike the FBI’s NO probable cause at all for snooping into the Trump campaign.
