Bribery charges? What bribery charges? Billionaire banker, ex-FBI agent, former Puerto Rico governor get sweet deal from Bondi's DOJ
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
One of the Justice Department’s biggest political bribery cases, set to go to trial in August, is being short-circuited by prosecutors who gave an exceedingly sweet deal to the three defendants they once declared had struck “a blow to the heart of our democracy.”
Billionaire Italian-Venezuelan international banker Julio Herrera Velutini, former FBI agent Mark Rossini and Wanda Vazquez Garced, a former governor of Puerto Rico, each faced up to 20 years in prison following their 42-page indictment in 2022 on seven felony counts of bribery, conspiracy and honest services fraud.
