A Miami Beach condominium property manager and a maintenance worker are facing charges in an alleged kickback scheme, authorities said.
Francisco Obispo, 38, is facing 18 counts of receiving a kickback and one count of organized scheme to defraud, while Jose Luis Hernandez-Aguiar, 52, is charged with organized scheme to defraud, an arrest warrant said.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office is scheduled to hold a news conference Tuesday afternoon to discuss the charges.
According to the warrant, the allegations involve the Euclid East Condominium at 1545 Euclid Avenue in the Flamingo-Lummus neighborhood of Miami Beach.
The condo is managed by a company that assigned Obispo to be the property manager about two years ago, the warrant said.
Hernandez was paid by the company to perform general maintenance for the condo, the warrant said.
In June of 2025, a member of the condo’s board of directors notified the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office of discrepancies in the accounting and financial records of Euclid East, mostly involving operating and reserve accounts.
The board member discovered several invoices and checks that “raised concerns and suspicions,” including the payment of $370,000 between May 2024 and May 2025 to a vendor owned by Hernandez, the warrant said.
