A senior member of U.K. Prime Minster Liz Truss’ government is cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of a bribery investigation that led to the arrest of Puerto Rico’s former leader.
Mark Fullbrook, chief of staff for the new prime minister, is assisting U.S. authorities as a witness and denied a report in the Times of London that he was a subject of the investigation, his spokesman said in a written statement Sunday. Fullbrook worked for CT Group, a political consultancy that had done opinion research on behalf of the banker that U.S. authorities have charged with bribing Wanda Vazquez, Puerto Rico’s former governor.
“Mark Fullbrook is a witness in this matter and has fully, completely and voluntarily engaged with the U.S. authorities in this matter, as he would always do in any circumstance in which his assistance is sought by authorities,” according to the statement.
