Draft:Carlos Feliciano

Carlos J. López Feliciano is a retired judge from the Puerto Rico's Court of Appeals.[1] He also served as Electoral Commissioner for the Popular Democratic Party (PPD) in the State Elections Commission, and former Secretary General of the PPD during the early 2000s.[2] López Feliciano was superintendent of the Puerto Rico police from 1985 to 1989, and Rafael Hernandez Colon was the governor of the island who appointed him this position.[3] As the island's police chief, Lopez Feliciano participated in the rescue operations and investigation of the tragic Dupont Plaza fire that took place on 1987 New Year's Eve during a labor dispute, killing 96 people.[4] A former police agent, William Colón Berríos, who was found guilty of conspiracy and perjury explained during a radio interview how the Intelligence Division created files during the 1970s and 1980s of alleged subversives and said Carlos Lopez Feliciano had a file in the Intelligence Division because he sympathized with left-leaning pro-independence politicians.[5] Lopez Feliciano retired from public service during the early 2010s, and wrote commentary notes about law and politics for El Nuevo Dia newspaper until the early 2020s.[6]
