Miami Beach Official Corruption

Thank God for the FBI because it would seem that either the MAJORITY of Miami Cuban politicians are on the corrupt payroll or perhaps grossly inept and not capable of keeping close tabs on what lower officials are up to in this banana republic.

"New Details Emerge In Miami Beach Official Corruption"

"The federal investigation all started with Miami Beach senior code inspector Jose Alberto. While the city was honoring him recently, the FBI says he and a network of his inspectors were shaking down the owner of Club Dolce. The establishment is now closed."

As usual you post BS without backing your post with fact! Just show us where in that article they call that thief s Cuban! Btw,I heard he was from Nicaragua!See you loser

(CBS4)
MIAMI (CBS4)– Documents obtained by CBS4 show a system of corruption and payoffs that spans not just a few months on Miami Beach but perhaps more than a decade.

As the booze was flowing at Club Dolce on Ocean Drive, code and fire inspectors looked the other way. All the while cops were running drugs to Aventura.

The federal investigation all started with Miami Beach senior code inspector Jose Alberto. While the city was honoring him recently, the FBI says he and a network of his inspectors were shaking down the owner of Club Dolce. The establishment is now closed.

The alleged operation was quite simple.  According to an FBI informant, Alberto threatened with huge fines of $40,000 to $50,000. It was enough to shut clubs down.  Alberto allegedly than offered to make the fines and violations go away with payments.  As the money flowed, more than $15,000 to Alberto according to documents, the inspections and problems went away.

When it came to fire inspections, Chai Footman offered up his services to undercover agents as long as he could quote “hang out and party and chill.”  Footman was known to party and on one night out, the FBI says he rang up more than $3500 in free booze and food.

Eventually the beach’s senior fire inspector allegedly got involved.  Henry Bryant was recorded on numerous occasions taking kickbacks for “taking care of things”.  Bryant had a clever way of demanding money, according to the documents.  He would always say he needed it for charity.  In one instance he’s recorded saying he needs to buy 20 bicycles for kids that cost $100 each, meaning he wanted $2,000.

Documents show Bryant bragging about how he and Alberto worked together.

“I have worked with him for about 12 years on every little gig I had.”  He went on to say “We kept a place open that violated every (expletive) rule in the law but the guy was paying us four grand.”  Bryant continued on telling undercover agents he been in business for 25 years and confirmed he would not get caught.

Over the holidays Bryant would take things even further.

According to the FBI agent, Bryant agreed to run drugs.  Undercover agents supplied him with duffle bags of sham cocaine.  On two occasions Bryant allegedly delivered the drugs to a car parked in the Aventura mall and then at a nearby Publix.

As disturbing as the accusation is, it’s who he did it with that has raised eyebrows.

Bryant claimed to have Miami Beach and Miami-Dade cops escorting the drugs to Aventura.

Miami-Dade officer Daniel Mack was charged as part of the operation.  However, he may just one of many corrupt officers still on the job.

Bryant told undercover agents he had connection to eight dirty cops to make even more drug runs.

At $3500 a pop, it was good money until they were busted this week.

This story is still developing and we will continue to follow it.

Idiot learn to read English. I said the MAJORITY of Miami-dade politicians are Cuban and the corruption is RAMPANT under their watch.

Having said that I have not read that the guy was Nicaraguan . You have a tendency to lie and change someone's ethnicity from Cuban to any other Hispanic group.

You are a good Miami Cuban junta.

Como dicen "When the shoe fits than wear it".

"Cuban-Americans have “perfected [corruption in government] in many ways to a fine art.” That is not correct, however, because if corruption is done that well, it is unnoticed and subtle. Corruption in Miami’s Cuban-American government has been crude, blatant and openly defiant"

THIS NEEDS TO STOP!

Its not simply Cuban politicians alone. Its all of Miami Beach commissioners, the Mayor, chief of police, the head of the fire dept , you name it, they all need to be kicked out permanently. The structure of Mimai Beach politics is the very worst in the nation. Miami is not great and has its share of problems but Miami Beach is the very worst. The FBI will need to step in even further cause the issues are that sticky with fat cat developers raping and pillaging and cronies sucking blood from the system.

The commissioner position here is useless and has caused us more money in corruption nthan anything else.

Many cities do not have this parasitic position .The ultimate self serving Commissioner Jose Pepe Diaz makes my point.

However looking at Hialeah and Miami's history once Cubans became the political force we OWN the corruption but I do agree with you 100% "Its all of Miami Beach commissioners, the Mayor, chief of police, the head of the fire dept , you name it, they all need to be kicked out permanently.

I assume you are Anglo?

I ask because being Cuban I honestly do not think Hispanics Cuban or not are capable of gvm't, as I see in Miami countless ethnic voting zero political, zero police standards Cuban voters and as many apathetic complaining but NEVER VOTING NON Cuban hispanics.

The FBI can only step in after the fact and this is the most well oiled efficient organized crime bunch of politicos and officials I have ever seen.

If the NY MAFIA ran this place and there was no violence they would run it better and steal less ESP in Hialeah.

I have never missed a single election in my 3 1/2 yrs here and voted against 98% of these incumbents unless the crap running against them was worse but again most here have zero standards , research nothing and to miami ignorant to realize this is costing them money and services.
