A Miami-Dade community association manager was arrested Thursday and accused of taking around $21,000 in kickbacks, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
The investigation started in February, when officers went to Greynolds Park Club Condominium, 17890 W. Dixie Highway, to speak with a board member from the condo association, the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n
The board member told officers there were concerns about the mismanagement of association funds by certain board members and the on-site building manager, according to an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
There were concerns about Maria Del Alvarez-Concepcion, 57, having \u201cexclusive control over multimillion-dollar contracts, lack of financial transparency, questionable fees, missing records and the exclusion of certain board members from major association decisions,\u201d the affidavit said.<\/p>\n
Another witness, who was a contracted vendor, told officers he was forced to pay kickbacks to Alvarez-Concepcion in order to provide services at the condo, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n
To avoid losing business, he paid Alvarez-Concepcion $20,910 in cash and through bank transfers from March 2025 to March 2026, the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n
When she was arrested Thursday, she provided \u201ca self-serving\u201d recorded statement in which she admitted to accepting kickbacks while acting as on-site manager, the sheriff\u2019s office said in the affidavit.<\/p>\n
Alvarez-Concepcion is facing 39 charges, including kickbacks and\/or solicitation, organized scheme to defraud and second-degree grand theft, Miami-Dade court records show. She didn\u2019t have an attorney listed as of Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis arrest reflects our commitment to protecting residents and holding accountable those who exploit positions of trust, and we will continue to aggressively combat association fraud in our community,\u201d Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Alvarez-Concepcion was being held Thursday, with bond still to be set, at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, jail records show.<\/p>\n
