Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz addressed allegations tied to the failed contract between the government and Power Expectations, a company involved in a temporary electricity generation deal. Rivera Schatz said it is up to authorities to determine whether crimes were committed in connection with allegations involving former La Fortaleza chief of staff Francisco Domenech. He also questioned the need to open additional investigations given that several agencies are already examining the allegations.
Asked about Puerto Rico's energy czar, Josué Colón, and his ties to Power Expectations, and whether Colón should be removed from his posts, Rivera Schatz did not directly answer the question, avoiding a clear stance on whether Colón should step down.
