Puerto Rican Governor and his 27 Federal Crimes

Today, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a semi-autonomous territory of the United States, was indicted for 27 federal crimes related to irregularities found in the financing of his campaigns for public offices on and off the island.
Along with him, 12 other people associated with his party, the Popular Democratic Party, all living in Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., or Philadelphia.
The U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodríguez, of the District of Puerto Rico, said that, because of the nature of the crimes he is charged with, the Governor himself will not be arrested immediately and will be given a chance to "give himself up to the police." Some of the other people charged, however, have already been arrested and await a trial.
The 13 defendants are charged with conspiracy, false statements, wire fraud, federal program fraud, and tax crimes related to the financing for the governor's 1999-2002 campaigns for Resident Commissioner, the sole representative of the island in the U.S. Congress, and for his subsequent 2004 gubernatorial run.
This indictment comes after a two-year investigation by a Grand Jury of donations made to the Governor's past campaigns.
The defendants face 3 to 10 years in federal prison, as well as several $100,000 to $250,000 fines.
Gov. Acevedo Vilá is the chairman of the Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico, which supports the island's current Commonwealth status with the United States, instead of full statehood or independence.

In ties with the book Boricua Power, it seems that the governors of Puerto Rico worry more about having power to govern a country then to worry about their people. The governor of Puerto Rico in the 1960's Luis Munoz-Marin also cared mostly about having power then helping the people establish a better economy in the country, and the Governor now is doing the same thing, he wants to keep his position as governor and support other things then help the country out.
