In Del Rio, Texas, Eduardo De La Garza, owner of Rio Bravo Construction, surrendered himself to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in connection with an alleged bribery, kickback and bid-rigging scheme announced United States Attorney Robert Pitman and FBI Special Agent in Charge Armando Fernandez. A federal grand jury indictment, charges the 44-year-old Eagle Pass resident with three counts of paying a bribe to an agent of an organization receiving federal funds. The indictment alleges that in May 2011, De La Garza submitted a $19,800 bid to Maverick County to construct a concrete pad at the intersection of Winsor Avenue and Bianca Road in Precinct 4 of Maverick County. Maverick County issued him a $9,900 check to commence work and then $9,900 check for the completion of the concrete pad. The indictment alleges that De La Garza made a cash payment to an employee working in the Maverick County Auditor’s Office for each check. The indictment further alleges that both checks were issued to De La Garza without undergoing the appropriate internal review process by Maverick County.
