FBI agents on Monday arrested Puerto Rico Rep. María Milagros Charbonier and three other people, a spokesman for the pro-statehood New Progressive Party said.
Raúl Colón, a spokesman for the president of Puerto Rico's House of Representatives, told The Associated Press that an adviser for Charbonier notified the president of the arrest. No further details were immediately available.
FBI spokeswoman Limary Cruz told the AP that four people were arrested but said she could not immediately release more details. The U.S. Attorney's Office announced an upcoming press conference about a public corruption case.
Charbonier recently said the FBI interviewed her and had seized her phone.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the hoarding of the hurricane aid we sent.

I thought David Begnau on CBS This Morning said everything was on the up and up in PR and we needed to send them more money?

Nah! Not even close.
Democrats in liberal states and liberal cities, will always own that crown. Can you spell: California, or NY State, or Illinois, or Minnesota, or Washington State, or Oregon, or any cities in those states?
Corruption is existent in just about any state, even in republican run states and cities.
Besides, P.R. is a relatively small country-state. So, the major problems would still be in the bigger states.
So, what state or city can you name that is without corruption?

Maybe all the rotting food in containers left at the dock after the hurricane fencing op?

You make a good point, Badger.
I would also miss our giant radio telescope dish in Arecibo, even though it uses antiquated technology.
