The FBI files no charges in the Ponce warehouse; it refers to Ethics

On June 29, 2021, El Nuevo Día reports that the FBI files no criminal charges against Carlos Acevedo and the others named in the Ponce warehouse case. It refers the matter to the Ethics Office. This note invents no convictions. There are none on this page. Unused in-kind goods — water, cots — not cash billions. Unused is not undocumented. Undocumented is not an indictment.

January 2020 recap: during the earthquakes a warehouse of unused María donations was found. Acevedo, then emergency management director, was fired. Associated Press, in 2020, covers that find at another URL. It is a second version of the warehouse. No winner is chosen. They are not averaged. El Nuevo Día carries the 2021 no-charges. AP carries the 2020 warehouse. Unused goods are not a finding that reconstruction federal funds were stolen. The FBI does not file. Ethics receives the referral. Acevedo was fired in 2020; that is not a 2021 conviction. This desk invents no verdict. Water and cots are not HUD's $20 billion pile. This desk prints both figures and does not fuse them.

What remains is a no to charges, a referral to Ethics, and a warehouse of water and cots. A reader who wants June 29 has the El Nuevo Día URL at the foot. This is not original reporting.
