0 Comments | AFP, March, 2008
MIAMI (AFP) — The governor of Puerto Rico, Anibal Acevedo Vila, Friday surrendered at a federal courthouse to face 19 corruption charges stemming from a campaign finance scandal, local media reported.
The governor arrived to find the courthouse surrounded by a large number of supporters waving flags and proclaiming his innocence, reported the San Juan newspaper, El Nuevo Dia.
On Thursday, Acebedo Vila was warned by prosecutors that he would be arrested if he did not surrender voluntarily.
Acevedo Vila, 48, was charged with conspiracy, false statements and violations of various campaign finance laws, according to a grand jury indictment issued Monday and unsealed Thursday.
Twelve associates face similar charges.
