FBI raids Puerto Rico sewer authority PRASA

NEW YORK/SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Tue Nov 25, 2014 4:50pm EST
(Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation launched a surprise raid at Puerto Rico's Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) on Tuesday in a probe the head of the commonwealth agency said was focused on a single case and not the entire agency.
"They came for some very specific information that we openly provided regarding one case," Executive President Alberto Lazaro said in a telephone interview.
"They took two piles of documents from the legal department and some electronic data from the IT department. They interviewed some employees from the purchasing and finance departments and from the legal division," he said.
Lazaro said the raid "came out of the blue" and declined to provide case details because the investigation was ongoing.
