Roberto Iglesias Pérez was a Puerto Rican politician and former mayor of Carolina from 1976 to 1984.
Iglesias was elected as Mayor of Carolina at the 1976 general elections. He served in that position until 1984, when he was succeeded by José Aponte de la Torre.[1]
In 1991, Iglesias was accused of four charges of illegal appropriation of public funds from the city of Carolina. After a long trial, Iglesias declared himself guilty in 1995 and served one year on parole. As part of the sentence, he was forced to pay back $29,000 to the city.[2]
Iglesias' son, Roger, is also a politician who is currently serving as a member of the Senate of Puerto Rico.[3]
