Puerto Rico senator, 7 others arrested by FBI in corruption investigation

Puerto Rico senator awaiting trial on fraud charges was taken into custody Wednesday morning by federal authorities in connection with an investigation into alleged corruption that also resulted in the arrests of seven others, officials said.

Abel Nazario, a 49-year-old currently serving in the U.S. territory’s 26th Senate, was apprehended as part of the probe, an FBI spokesperson said, but further information on the nature of the charges was not immediately revealed. Information was not immediately available about the seven others who were arrested Wednesday in connection with the probe.

This arrest comes after 3 years of attacks against Trump for withholding relief aid to Puerto Rico. Why didn’t the media cover these allegations of corruption as extensively when they first came up?
