Six in Puerto Rico charged in $9 million scheme targeting US funds

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A federal grand jury in Puerto Rico has indicted six people in an alleged fraudulent scheme involving $9 million in government pandemic funds, officials said Wednesday.
The suspects, including a banker, face wire fraud and money laundering charges, the US attorney’s office said.
“This case demonstrates the boldness with which defendants have taken advantage of federal programs intended to help businesses that have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said U.S. Attorney Stephen Muldrow.
