NEW MEXICO A-G HECTOR BALDERAS SAYS HIS OFFICE CAN NOT FIND SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO PURSUE CHARGES OF BRIBERY AND/OR INTIMIDATION OF WITNESSES AGAINST D-A KARI BRANDENBURG. APD HAD ASKED THE A-G’S OFFICE TO REVIEW THE EVIDENCE.
THE BALDERAS REPORT ALSO STATED APD’S ACTIONS WERE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. HE SAYS THAT WAS BASED ON INFORMATION FROM SOME OF APD PERSONNEL THAT THERE WERE POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS THAT CAUSED DELAY AND IMPAIRMENT IN THE INVESTIGATION. APD CHIEF GORDEN EDEN SAYS THAT’S SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
ALBUQUERQUE POLICE ALLEGED THAT BRANDENBURG BRIBED AND INTIMIDATED WITNESSES IN CONNECTION WITH THEFTS IN WHICH THE VICTIMS CLAIMED BRANDENBURG’S SON WAS INVOLVED.
