Puerto Rico's Governor Loses Top Aide, Others in Scandal
Governor Ricardo Rossello Nevares last evening lost the services of his chief aide and deputy chief aide as well as three other senior officials of his administration because of a campaign scandal, an alleged cover-up attempt, and related ethical questions.
The actions were taken after Justice Secretary Wanda Vazquez Garced reported the findings of an investigation of the campaign improprieties and her referrals of individuals to other authorities.
Secretary of the Governorship William Villafane Ramos resigned and the Governor asked for the resignation of the others.
Villafane has been replaced on an interim basis by Secretary of State Luis Rivera Marin, who will continue to head the State Department. Other replacements have not been named.
