The Senate of Puerto Rico has formally asked the Department of the Family to turn over all documentation tied to Secretary Suzanne Roig Fuertes' September 2025 official trip to Spain.[^1]

The request was filed by Senator Juan Oscar Morales and gives the department five working days to deliver the documents.[^2][^3]

The Department of the Family is the same agency that, on 17 March 2026, awarded a $355,646.50 youth mentorship contract to SAMU Foundation Corp.[^4] The Senate request covers the contract process as well as the trip: Roig Fuertes met Fundacion SAMU leaders during the September 2025 visit, and the contract was signed days later that March.[^5][^6][^7]

Roig Fuertes has denied irregularities, saying the competitive process was independent of the trip, which she described as tied to a no-cost collaborative agreement with SAMU that runs from August 2025 to July 2027.[^8][^9][^10]

The request, filed as Petition 2026-0139, names contract 2026-000177 and gives the department until the following Wednesday to produce the records. [^11][^12][^13]

The framework collaboration agreement was signed for an initial three-year term during the September 2025 visit to Sevilla. [^14][^15]
