government contracts

Carlos Bermúdez Urbina, a longtime adviser and friend of Gov. Jenniffer González Colón, works behind the scenes on her public image while his company holds more than $626,000 in government contracts.

The Centro de Periodismo Investigativo obtained a document showing that in April, former PRITS Director Antonio Ramos Guardiola rejected a contract with the company XUVO. Despite his opposition, the company went on to secure a multimillion-dollar deal to manage the Puerto Rico Department of Health’s online system for permits and certifications.
