The governor of Puerto Rico and a dozen associates were indicted today on conspiracy, fraud and tax charges related to the financing of political campaigns dating to 1999.

Democrat Anibal Acevedo Vila, 48, and his top advisers accepted thousands of dollars in illegal campaign donations from Philadelphia area businessmen and their employees to wipe away substantial debts stemming from campaign expenses prior to 2002, which were never reported to federal election officials, Justice Department officials said.
