Testimony begins in Armijo fraud trial
In Santa Fe, AP reports testimony has started in the trial of former state official Tony Armijo, accused of fraud, racketeering, and taking a bribe related to PSIA and RHA contracts. Prosecutors cite a $3395 birthday party paid by a contractor as central, with linked alleged changes to a contract and use of a state credit card for personal purchases.
