A federal judge sentenced a Texas border county commissioner to 20 years in prison for his role in a multi-million-dollar bribery scheme.
This week, U.S. District Judge Micaela Alvarez sentenced former Hidalgo County Commissioner Arturo “A.C.” Cuellar, 69, to 20 years in prison and ordered him to pay $4.1 million in restitution, information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas revealed. During the same hearing, Alvarez also sentenced John Cuellar, 60, to three years in prison, and Ricardo Quintanilla, 57, to 16 years and six months in prison.
Authorities claim the bribery and contract rigging conspiracy began in March 2008 and continued until 2015.
