The former mayor of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, was sentenced to five years and three months in prison for his role in a bribery scheme. Ángel Pérez-Otero, 53, accepted cash bribes from a construction company owner between late 2019 and May 2021. In exchange, Pérez-Otero ensured the company received government contracts and that its invoices were promptly paid. Pérez-Otero was convicted of conspiracy, federal program bribery, and extortion in March.
The announcement was made by Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney W. Stephen Muldrow for the District of Puerto Rico, and Special Agent in Charge Joseph González of the FBI San Juan Field Office. The FBI San Juan Field Office conducted the investigation.
Trial Attorney Nicholas Cannon of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section (PIN) and Assistant U.S. Attorney Myriam Fernández-González for the District of Puerto Rico prosecuted the case, with assistance from PIN Trial Attorney Ryan R. Crosswell and Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott H. Anderson.
This case is part of the Justice Department’s efforts to combat public corruption by municipal officials in Puerto Rico, with recent convictions obtained against other former public officials and contractors in the District of Puerto Rico for similar offenses.
