At the behest of U.S. Representative Pedro Pierluisi (Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner) the DEA's alleged financial fraud was brought to the attention of USDOJ OIG on 09-09-2013. OIG responded on 10-31-2013; OIG recommended that the issues be brought to the attention of DEA OPR. It is apparent that DEA OPR did not conduct an investigation. In the meantime, more evidence of alleged financial fraud by the DEA has emerged. Indications are that DEA OPR and DEA Office of Chief Counsel are complicit, or, derelict in their duties. This is a serious case of government fraud and abuse involving at least 128 DEA personnel assigned to Puerto Rico and the USVI and approximately $6 million in unpaid binding bilateral employment contracts. AG Eric Holder must hold DEA management accountable.
