The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested former constitutional Governor of Puerto Rico Wanda Vázquez at her residence in the Montehiedra neighborhood in the early hours of the morning today.
It has been indicated that Vázquez is at the FBI building.
Vázquez's arrest comes a little over two months after the team of attorneys of who is also the [island's] former Attorney General anticipated her possibly being charged at the federal level with election fraud.
[News/talk-radio station] NotiUno 630 reported that a group of prosecutors from the Division of Public Integrity of the federal Department of Justice based in Washington had concluded an investigation against Vázquez. It was reported that two of her campaign and Governor's Mansion collaborators - Lillian Sánchez and Marisol Blasco — testified before the grand jury that is investigating alleged irregularities related to election donations during the 2020 primary process.
The story goes back to an invitation Vázquez received to a meeting with bankers, at least one of them having given her donations in exchange for stopping an investigation against his bank that operates in Puerto Rico since 2009.
Vázquez had already given her cellular telephone to the federal authorities previously and said at the time that she was willing to cooperate.
It was said that the federal authorities had arrest warrants for two other people.
Betcha it wasn’t for a good reason...
Puerto Rico ping.
Is this the idiot that blamed Trump for the storm?
I guess, for those few left here speaking English.....

“Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced (R) on Tuesday threw her support behind President Trump’s bid for a second term and called on Puerto Ricans to cast their votes for him on Election Day.”
Most likely, that was leftist former San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz.
Gee, I don’t see a party affiliation.
Odd?.............................
Didn’t realize that she was at Jan 6th.
(otherwise, why would the FBI bother with her)
“Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced (R) on Tuesday threw her support behind President Trump’s bid for a second term and called on Puerto Ricans to cast their votes for him on Election Day.”
Thanks, now the investigation and arrest makes sense.
She’s a Republican who had said her priority was fighting corruption. Is that a good enough reason?
Oh-Oh.. Somebody failed to pay their kick-back the DC mob..
She was a Democrat, then became a Republican... the Biden Junta going after her seems suspicious.
Why is the FBI interested in election fraud now? Seems odd to me.
Ah!...She’s a Republican who supported Trump! That is why the FBI made the arrest.
A Republican! This is another example of Republicans being hunted.
Even if she is proven innocent, the financial burden of the legal fees will ruin her. The process alone is the punishment.
It’s about an alleged pay-to-play scheme involving campaign donations. The charges have nothing to do with rigged vote counts.
Same b***ch that whined about PDJT not providing after a hurricane standing in front of pallets full of supplies?
Punishment for leaving the Plantation................
