Maria del Carmen Alvarez-Concepcion, 57, appeared in bond court Friday after she was arrested at her place of work.<\/p>\n<p>Alvarez-Concepcion was the building manager of the Greynolds Park Club condominiums. According to investigators from the Miami-Dade Sheriff&#8217;s Office (MDSO) real estate fraud squad, she was receiving illegal kickback payments from a contractor working on the building.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People are shocked,&#8221; said Jean Claude, a resident and HOA board member.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators say the contractor paid Alvarez-Concepcion $20,910. These payments were reportedly not authorized by the condo association and were intentionally concealed from the board of directors.<\/p>\n<p>The arrest report states that Alvarez-Concepcion admitted to accepting the kickbacks.<\/p>\n<p>Claude, who has lived in the building for 45 years, said this is not the only issue they are dealing with.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am very happy that the state is investigating what is going on in the condominium,&#8221; Claude said. He added, &#8220;We have a huge problem in the condo association, huge&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he was surprised by the news, Claude replied: &#8220;I know her personally, she has qualities, and she has faults. Are you surprised to hear that this happened to her? I know I cannot say I&#8217;m surprised&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Claude urged investigators to dig deeper, stating, &#8220;I think that if the state is doing the job correctly, they should dig, try to find the money, and when you find the money, you&#8217;ll find the truth&#8221;. He noted that &#8220;we have a lot of renovations, a lot of money spent, and we spend too much money&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Alvarez-Concepcion is facing a number of charges, including kickback solicitation, grand theft, and organized fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Another witness told investigators they have had long-standing concerns regarding Alvarez-Concepcion&#8217;s control over multimillion-dollar contracts, a lack of financial transparency, and missing records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maria del Carmen Alvarez-Concepcion, 57, appeared in bond court Friday after she was arrested at her place of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226985,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-226984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226984\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
