The main bondholders of the Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica (PREPA), Puerto Rico’s electric power authority, have asked the First Circuit Court of Appeals to correct an error made by federal district judge Laura Taylor Swain. They claim PREPA wrongly kept money that belongs to them and are seeking recognition of their claim for administrative expenses.

The bondholders are convinced that PREPA’s actions amount to an unauthorized taking of their funds, with one phrase summarizing their stance as 'no existe una licencia para robar', or 'there is no license to steal'.
