Part 7/8:
An earlier episode involving a minor drug dealer, Armando Fio, further complicates the Dade County law enforcement tapestry. After being arrested and having significant amounts of cash seized, Fio and his girlfriend were subsequently murdered. The missing money became a new focal point of inquiry after it appeared that the seized cash had been improperly released to a fictitious individual, raising grave questions regarding the integrity of the officers involved.
While the investigation continues to expand, calls for procedural changes in the management of seized property are echoing through the department as officials acknowledge the vulnerability in existing processes.
