Rep. Henry Cuellar and Wife Indicted for Accepting $600,000 in Bribes
May 3, 2024, 03:58 PM
U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas and his wife have been indicted on charges of conspiracy, bribery, and money laundering. The Justice Department alleges that the couple accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan and a bank headquartered in Mexico City. These charges come after a federal investigation linked to Cuellar's interactions with Azerbaijani business interests. The indictment follows a January 2022 raid on Cuellar's home and campaign office. Cuellar has publicly maintained his and his wife's innocence, asserting that all his actions in Congress were to serve the people of South Texas.
