Biography

Roberto José Maldonado Rivera, a Puerto Rican attorney, was prosecuted in Connecticut in the Wells Fargo robbery-conspiracy case. The Justice Department records a June 8, 1989 five-year sentence and $100,000 fine. The official BOP number03588-069 records the end of federal custody June 30, 1994. Clinton's 1999 grant remitted the unpaid fine; it was not his release from prison. Exact initial and sentence-era custody admission dates still require individual evidence.

Official endpoint and fine remission distinguished

The authorized official BOP number lookup identifies Roberto Maldonado-Rivera03588-069 and gives June30,1994 as the federal custody endpoint, not June29. The Justice Department's individual clemency entry records June8,1989 sentencing and a1999 grant concerning only the unpaid fine. Neither that grant nor sentencing is used as a prison admission or release date. Existing1989 admission requires its original supporting evidence; no duration counter or portrait is manufactured.

Contemporary source context and date limits

The May 1986 Free Puerto Rico! has an unresolved chronology conflict. Page 2 reports the arrests of attorney Roberto Maldonado, Antonio Camacho and Paul Weinberg on March 22, while page 1 refers to additional Hartford-case arrests in April. This also differs from the August 30, 1985 arrest currently recorded for Roberto José Maldonado Rivera. The contemporary report is preserved as a lead requiring an individually identified court or jail record; it is not used to replace the existing arrest date or infer a second custody interval. A shared abbreviated name is not used to assign this arrest to another Camacho or Weinberg profile.

Case

Charges: Bank-robbery conspiracy (18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 2113); foreign transportation of stolen money (18 U.S.C. § 2314); RICO predicates (U.S. v. Gerena — 1983 Wells Fargo robbery, West Hartford, CT)
Arrested: Aug 30, 1985
Sentenced: Jun 8, 1989
Incarcerated: Aug 28, 1989
Released: Jun 30, 1994
Sentence: Five years in federal prison and a $100,000 fine, imposed June8,1989 according to the Justice Department. Authorized officialBOP number03588-069 RobertoMaldonado-Rivera age90 gives NotinBOPCustodyasofJune30,1994, correcting the June29 legacy day. The1999 grant only remitted the unpaid fine, not ongoing imprisonment. LegacyAugust28,1989 admission is retained pending review of its prior source, without adding DAYprecision or using it to compute exact continuous days. The1766-day counter is removed; pretrial and sentence-era custody must not be silently conflated.
