Eagle Pass

New suspects are coming up in the gasoline fraud case by the City of Eagle Pass which is the case in which gasoline cards issued to city employees were used to steal fuel and money from the City. In the most recent information received from the Eagle Pass Police Department, Chief Juan Antonio Castañeda said that a car lot is also under investigation in which the cards may have been used to charge gasoline to the vehicles on the lot. The chief mentioned that as of yet there are no more details which can be released to the media at this time, but it is sure that more and more persons will be involved. Eagle Pass detectives and FBI agents are working hand in hand on this case and they will be traveling to Del Rio to discuss details with federal agents to see what advances have been made on this issue. This has been one of the most intriguing cases in recent memory which has raised the interest of local citizens. They are hoping to bring all details to light and all involved to justice as they are especially looking to gain restitution for the gasoline and money stolen. Five people have been formally charged in this case, yet authorities know many more are involved in this theft and they will be charged as well as soon as the Grand Jury provides their names and identities.
