Sounds like a large conspiracy on her part.
New Mexico House Majority Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton, a Democrat, is under criminal investigation by the Attorney Generalās Office on allegations of racketeering, money laundering, receiving illegal kickbacks, and other violations, officials said this week.
Investigators from the Attorney Generalās Office searched Stapletonās Albuquerque office on Tuesday and her home on Wednesday, according to arrest warrants. They were looking into irregularities in her work as an administrator at Albuquerque Public Schools since the spring
The investigators are trying to determine whether Stapletonās connections to Robotics Management Learning Systems, a Washington-based company that has done business with the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS). They found that every invoice issued by Robotics Management to the school system was for an even dollar amount, with no cents, and most payments were reportedly for $40,000.
Stapleton is involved with several other companies that received payments from Robotics Management, investigators said.
āAPS paid Robotics $5,360,030.00 from March 2006 to June 2021,ā according to a search warrant. āBank of America records detail that overwhelmingly, Roboticsā primary source of income is its contracts with APS. APS employees and [New Mexico Attorney General] Investigators have noted that the procurement process with regard to Robotics was not performed in accordance with state law.ā
The warrant further stated that investigators found that about 60 percent of the money paid to āRobotics by APS between 2014 and 2021 was subsequently redirected to Sheryl Williams Stapletonsā direct interests,ā including to her son and her restaurant and other businesses.
No charges have been filed yet in the case.
