Among the commissioners at Monday’s McAllen city meeting was Rodolfo “Rudy” Castillo.

Monday marked the first time Castillo, 55, attended a city commission meeting since his Oct. 2 arrest on federal charges of smuggling goods and money laundering.

As previously reported, Castillo was released on a $100,000 bond on Oct. 21.

After the city commission meeting, Channel 5 News asked Castillo if he had any comment regarding his arrest. He said he did not have a comment, and later added that he plans to stay on as city commissioner.

Castillo and his wife, Bertha Alicia Castillo, were arrested and accused of using their business — located at 6613 S. 28th St. — as a front for a smuggling operation.
