Anibal Acevedo Vila Tuesday, charging him with four counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with alleged campaign finance violations.It accused Acevedo and others in his campaign of receiving some US$250,000 in illegal funds from a local businessman, whom Acevedo later helped as governor without disclosing the financial relationship. A senior aide and former campaign director were also charged.The indictment also contends that a media company used by Acevedo's campaign created about US$250,000 in fake invoices, stating it had provided services when it had done no work for the businessman or his company. The money was allegedly used to pay off campaign debts.Acevedo, who is running for re-election in November, was previously indicted in March on 19 other counts including conspiracy to violate federal campaign laws and defraud the Internal Revenue Service, as well as giving false testimony to the FBI.He faces 60 years in prison if convicted on all counts.On Tuesday, he repeated previous denials of guilt and blamed the accusations on political persecution.[Open above link for full story and related stories.]
