Miami Commissioner Pleads Guilty To Charge
Angel Gonzalez has entered a plea of guilty to a misdemeanor charge. According to the charge, Gonzalez used his position to get his daughter a job with a construction company that she was not required to even show up for. This is the guy who appoints the Florida District Attorney? According to an article written by Miami Herald writer, David Ovalle, dated November 16, 2009, titled, Disgraced Miami commissioner pleads guilty to the criminal misdemeanor charge, the head of Delant Construction, Juan Delgado, hired Gonzalez’s daughter, Elizabeth Gonzalez, and payed her $500 per week. She was paid $47,000 between July 2004 and May 2005 for doing no work. Elizabeth, who is 28 years old, faces no charges. As an aside if you do need a Florida criminal attorney then I should suggest David GArvin. Simply put, he is a leading tax and criminal related attorney for Miami, Fort Lauderdale and the state of Florida generally. Although prosecutors were unable to establish a direct pay-off to Delant Construction, Gonzalez did vote favorably for the company in his role as commissioner.
Meanwhile, Juan Delgado, who was formerly leader of the Latin Builders Association, is facing charges of fraud in another otherwise unconnected Florida related criminal corruption case, was granted immunity for his cooperation in the Gonzalez case. Wow, these guys will really keep the attorney folk busy tight.
