By the Crime Vault Investigative Team Crime Vault Magazine – Exposing the Scum Hiding in Plain Sight
In a bombshell revelation that’s got Puerto Rico’s political swamp bubbling over, newly surfaced documents from the Puerto Rico Police Department lay bare the rotten underbelly of Senator Gregorio Matías Rosario’s past as a cop. This so-called “public servant,” now strutting around as the Senate Majority Leader for the New Progressive Party (PNP), has a rap sheet of administrative complaints longer than a corrupt politician’s expense report. From doping up on codeine and morphine to domestic violence allegations and straight-up negligence, Matías’ history screams “unfit for duty”—let alone a seat in the Senate. How did this badge-wearing bully climb the ladder to become one of Puerto Rico’s top lawmakers? Crime Vault is here to drag the truth into the light, no holds barred.
Let’s start with the basics: Gregorio Matías Rosario joined the Puerto Rico Police in 1994 as a sergeant (placa 19940). Fast-forward to today, and he’s the Majority Leader in the Senate of Puerto Rico, elected at-large and cozying up in power since around 2020. But before he traded his uniform for a suit, Matías racked up 11 administrative complaints between 1996 and 2012, according to his own “Historial Personal” record, printed November 26, 2018. These aren’t parking tickets—these are serious accusations of misconduct that paint a picture of a reckless, immoral thug who abused his authority time and again. And get this: Many ended up “archived” or with slap-on-the-wrist penalties like days without pay (DSES). No real accountability, just the system protecting its own.
Here’s the dirt, straight from the documents, broken down year by year. We’re not sugarcoating it—this is the ugly truth about a man who now makes laws for the rest of us:
- 1996: Immoral Conduct (Conducta Inmoral) – Kicked off his “career” with a complaint for straight-up immoral behavior. Disposition: Archived. What kind of “immoral” acts? The docs don’t spell it out, but in cop lingo, this could mean anything from graft to personal depravity. Already setting the tone for a dirty badge.
- 1997: Debt (Deuda) – Hit with a financial screw-up, probably dodging bills like he dodges responsibility. Slapped with 30 days without pay (30 DSES). Because nothing says “trustworthy officer” like being in hock and ignoring it.
- 1998: Positive Drug Test for Codeine and Morphine – Tested positive for opioids after a doping probe. According to the Instituto de Ciencias Forenses, he was lit up on codeine and morphine. This guy’s supposed to enforce drug laws? Hypocrite much? Archived, of course—no real consequences.
- 1998 (Again): Driving Without a Valid Vehicle Sticker (Conducia Vehiculo de Motor Sin Tener Marbete Vigente) – Busted for cruising around illegally. Another archive job. Petty? Sure, but it shows a pattern of flouting the rules he swore to uphold.
- 2003: Domestic Violence (Violencia Domestica) – Allegedly involved in family abuse, right after a summary suspension. This one’s a gut-punch—cops beating on their own? Reinstalled after suspension, but the stain remains. How does a guy with DV on his record get to legislate on public safety?
- 2004: Inappropriate Language During an Accident Report Request – Used language “que no fue de agrado” (not to the complainant’s liking) while handling a traffic accident query. Basically, being a rude, unprofessional jerk on the job. Archived again.
- 2005: Argument and Threats Over Phone Calls (Discusion y Amenaza por Llamadas Telefonicas) – Threatened someone via phone. Orientation disposition—meaning they just “talked” to him. Yeah, that fixes everything.
- 2006: Absence or Abandonment of Service (Ausencia o Abandono de Servicio) – Ditched his duties. But wait, this lines up with a far darker incident. A 2011 U.S. Department of Justice report on the Puerto Rico Police Department details how Officer Gregorio Matías Rosario allegedly trash-talked Dominicans in a Río Piedras bar on August 18, 2006, then pulled his service weapon, shot Ignacio Santos Rosario twice in the leg, and called backup to beat the guy while he was down. The DOJ called the PRPD an “agency in profound disrepair,” riddled with excessive force and discrimination. Matías? He walked away with just an “orientation.” If this is the same incident (and the dates scream yes), we’re talking attempted murder by cop. How is this not criminal?
- 2008: Assault Involvement and Incitement to Abuse – The complainant was attacked by a woman and the brother of the accused (Matías?), who incited continued physical abuse without intervening. Archived. Sounds like turning a blind eye to violence—perfect for a future senator, right?
- 2009: Another Debt (Deuda) – Repeat offender on the financial front. Orientation only.
- 2012: Negligence, Partiality, and Ineptitude (Negligencia, Parcialidad e Ineptitud) – Botched a job with bias and incompetence. Under investigation at the time of the report, with 10 days without pay. Total complaints: 11, mostly swept under the rug.
This isn’t some minor blemish—it’s a career of corruption, violence, and incompetence. Matías rose through the ranks despite it all, retiring from the force and slithering into politics. Now, as Senate Majority Leader, he’s pushing bills on police retirement funds, overtime pay, and public safety. The irony is thicker than San Juan traffic. He’s been spotted defending cops and servers públicos, but who defends the public from guys like him?
Puerto Rico deserves better than this crooked relic from a broken system. How can a man with a history of drug positives, threats, domestic violence, and a bar shooting be trusted to lead? It’s a slap in the face to every honest cop and citizen struggling under the island’s crime wave. Crime Vault calls for an immediate investigation—dig deeper into these complaints, subpoena the full files, and hold Matías accountable. Resign, Senator, or let the voters boot you out. The people of Puerto Rico aren’t fools; they’ve seen enough dirty badges turned into dirty politics.
Stay tuned—Crime Vault is just getting started on the swamp creatures. If you have tips on Matías or other corrupt officials, hit us up anonymously. The truth always comes out.
