Webb 县警长Martin Cuellar和前助理警长Alejandro Gutierrez于2026年1月因被控在大流行病期间利用县级工作人员和资源经营一家盈利消毒公司Disinfect Pro Master, 被指控犯有联邦欺诈罪而被起诉。 Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar and former assistant chief Alejandro Gutierrez were indicted in January 2026 on federal fraud charges for allegedly running a for-profit disinfecting business, Disinfect Pro Master, during the pandemic using county staff and resources. 检察官说,该企业于2020年4月启动,获得500 000美元的清扫学校合同,并产生利润,由已经认罪的Cuellar、Gutierrez和前助理主管Ricardo Rodriguez分享。 Prosecutors say the business, launched in April 2020, secured a $500,000 contract to clean schools and generated profits split among Cuellar, Gutierrez, and former assistant chief Ricardo Rodriguez, who already pleaded guilty. 起诉书包括阴谋、盗窃联邦资金和洗钱指控,每次可判处10年监禁。 The indictment includes conspiracy, theft of federal funds, and money laundering charges, each carrying up to 10 years in prison. Cuelar自2009年以来多次再次当选,表示不服罪,并获得保释。 Cuellar, who has been reelected multiple times since 2009, pleaded not guilty and was released on bond. 他的律师否认有任何不检行为,而且此案在他兄弟最近总统赦免另外一项腐败指控时受到仔细审查。 His attorney denied any misconduct, and the case has drawn scrutiny amid his brother’s recent presidential pardon on separate corruption charges.
