The investigation is related to alleged financial crimes and public corruption, according to federal sources, and it involves a collaboration with agents from the federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD).
“We have been carrying out a raid order in Toa Baja’s Government Center as of 6 a.m. The investigation is by the FBI but HUD and the General Inspector’s Office agents are collaborating with us. It is an underway investigation and we can’t offer more details,” the spokesman for the FBI in Puerto Rico, Special Agent Carlos Osorio, said.
Toa Baja’s interim mayor, following Vega Borges’s departure, is Jorge Ortiz Matías. The raid is expected to last most of the morning and into the early afternoon.
