Gutierrez and former Department of Administration Director Clifford Guzman were also indicted in connection with allegedly authorising the use of government funds to pay for thousands of private streetlights.
The Attorney-General Douglas Moylan told a news conference that this is just the beginning of a difficult journey which will hopeful result in punishment for the criminal actions of possibly the most trusted government official of the last 8 years.
