The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing potential corruption and favoritism in how Puerto Rico awarded some government contracts and arrests may be forthcoming, according to the bureau’s special agent in charge on the island, Douglas Leff.
Speaking Thursday on local station Radio Isla, Leff said prosecutors would have final say as to when enough evidence had been gathered to justify arrests.
