🚨 OPERATION SUNDOWN: $5.8 MILLION ALLEGED HOA FRAUD SCHEME DISRUPTED
Your association fees are meant to protect your home and your community—not fund someone else’s lifestyle.
Following an extensive two-year investigation, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Organized Crimes Bureau, working in partnership with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, arrested individuals allegedly involved in a $5.8 million criminal scheme targeting condominium and homeowners’ associations across Miami-Dade County.
Investigators allege that association funds were diverted for personal gain while elderly, primarily Spanish-speaking board members were exploited.
For many residents, their home is their greatest investment and the foundation of their family’s financial security. When that trust is violated, those responsible must be held accountable.
Let this serve as a clear warning: If you exploit our residents or steal from the communities you were entrusted to serve, we will investigate, we will find you, and we will hold you accountable.
The subjects have been arrested and charged. This remains an active and ongoing investigation.

🚨 OPERACIÓN SUNDOWN: DESARTICULADO
ESQUEMA DE FRAUDE DE $5.8 MILLONES CONTRA ASOCIACIONES DE PROPIETARIOS
Las cuotas de su asociación están destinadas a proteger su hogar y su comunidad, no a financiar el estilo de vida de otras personas.
Tras una extensa investigación de dos años, la Oficina de Crímenes Organizados de la Oficina del Alguacil del Condado de Miami-Dade, en colaboración con la Fiscalía Estatal de Miami-Dade, arrestó a varias personas presuntamente involucradas en un esquema criminal de $5.8 millones que afectó a asociaciones de condominios y propietarios en todo el condado.
Según los investigadores, fondos de estas asociaciones fueron desviados para beneficio personal, mientras se aprovechaban de miembros de las juntas directivas de edad avanzada, principalmente hispanohablantes.
Para muchos residentes, su hogar es su mayor inversión y la base de la seguridad económica de su familia. Cuando esa confianza es traicionada, los responsables deben rendir cuentas.
Que esto sirva como una advertencia clara: si se aprovechan de nuestros residentes o roban a las comunidades que se les confió servir, investigaremos, los encontraremos y los haremos rendir cuentas.
Los sujetos fueron arrestados y enfrentan cargos. Esta investigación continúa activa y en curso.

Joanne Lozano · They should review all the HOAs in the county !!! Laguna Club in Flagler for when ??????
We need it all over Florida they're taking advantage of landlords.
COME TO HOMESTEAD!! THEY HAVE BEEN ROBBING US FOR YEARS IN OUR COMMUNITY. EVERY DAY THEY KEEP RAISING THE CDD..THE ASSOCIATION..AND EVERYTHING GETS WORSE. PORTOFINO EAST HOMESTEAD
Excellent!! And when they go to jail, part of their sentence should be to pay back every dime they stole. Enough is enough.
I lost my unit at Castle Beach because of the board in the 90s.
This is happening everywhere. The smaller HOAs think they are immune. It’s so frustrating. How do we start the process to stop the corruption in smaller 55+ communities?
I went to do some work at a condominium and the manager told me to put the double the amount of the work on the invoice so he could keep the money.
hacen muy bien pues hay muchos HOA que ponen assessments todos los años y roban a las dos manos como el caso del 1025 Alton road en miami beach que me tube que ir de alli pues el presidente de la asociacion ponia hasta dos assessments al año y el en menos de tres años obtubo tres apts en el edificio
We need an announcement, it's time to face the drill Sergeant in Orgins9. I don't want another private manipulated. It's not an federal right to secure a witness without probably cause.
We need this ! Great job 👏 more to go
That has been happening for many years. Very good job and thanks to the authorities. The best would be to abolish these associations. They do nothing for our communities.
Does anyone know the name of the property management company these people worked for?
Congratulations, excellent, they should audit all condominium associations
There should be a law where all HOA are audited.
