The FBI has arrested two former Puerto Rico officials for funneling disaster aid payments to politically connected contractors.
The Wednesday arrests have prompted concern on Capitol Hill that the island’s corruption will blunt the effectiveness of a recently passed disaster aid bill. Rep. Ral Grijalva, D-Ariz., has called for Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossell's resignation, according to the Washington Post.
The FBI indictment charges Puerto Rico's former Education Secretary Julia Keleher, former Health Insurance Agency Chief ngela vila-Marrero, and four others with crimes related to grifting U.S. disaster aid. Keleher and vila-Marrero both served in Rossell's administration before leaving in April and June, respectively.
