A federal grand jury has indicted Adrian Edward Pena, the former executive of a major El Paso construction company, C.F. Jordan Inc, in connection with the county contract for a $7.6 million parking garage annex Downtown.
Pena’s indictment, released Thursday, is the eighth in an ongoing public corruption investigation that has seen 12 people plead guilty to bribery, conspiracy, fraud and deprivation of honest services charges so far. (download indictment below)
In general, the three count indictment accuses Pena, who left C.F. Jordan two years ago, of conspiring with and bribing former El Paso County Commissioner Elizabeth “Betti” Flores in exchange for her support and her vote to award the parking garage contract to Jordan.
The indictment of Pena covers activities from Aug. 25, 2003 to about June 14, 2006…..
