In Defense Of Those Accused Of Public Corruption In Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico has seen an increase in allegations of public corruption in recent years. Elected and appointed officials, as well as past public figures and private businesspeople, have been investigated and implicated in numerous public corruption scandals involving local and federal levels of government. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) continues to probe into schemes that threaten the island’s financial and political stability. For example, a former attorney for three municipalities was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison after being convicted of bribery involving federal funds.

Anyone who believes they may be named as a suspect in a public corruption case – or anyone who has already been charged – should consult with a highly skilled defense attorney as soon as possible. From law offices in New York, the lawyers at Sapone & Petrillo have earned a strong reputation for effectively representing defendants in municipal, commonwealth and federal corruption cases in Puerto Rico.
