A scheme used forged documents to move Puerto Rico public land into private hands, according to work by the Centro de Periodismo Investigativo and Rayos X.[1] The two outlets identified the transfers, which relied on falsified paperwork to shift land owned by the public to private owners. The filing names the method and the parties involved in broad terms, but does not lay out the number of parcels, the people behind the forgeries, or where the land sits.
