Draft:Carlos Feliciano

Carlos J. López Feliciano is a retired judge from the Puerto Rico's Court of Appeals. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
