Former GHURA staffer admits bribery
A former GHURA employee pleads guilty to bribery. Antonia Mayo San Nicolas was indicted last month along with Section 8 landlord Albert Buendicho and Section 8 recipient Mattos Johnson in a bribery scheme. Mayo pled guilty to three counts of receiving bribes as a 3rd degree felony and a special allegation of crimes against the community. She is set for sentencing next January while her co-defendants are set for trial in December.
In a release from the Attorney General's Office, Special Agent in Charge James Todak of the inspector general stated that public corruption will not be tolerated and adds "alleged crimes involving HUD programs only take away from the vital role that HUD serves in assisting low income, elderly and disabled families in Guam."
If you have concerns of fraud or corruption involving a HUD-funded program, you are encouraged to call the FBI Guam Resident Agency Office at 472-7465 or the AG's Office at 475-3406 ext 2210.
