Billy Corben Instagram – According to Florida Bulldog, a few months after Tony promoted Reyes to colonel in 2019, Reyes greenlit the “purchase of ‘Stop the Bleed’ stations and bleeding control kits from North American Rescue, a company where Tony previously worked and later peddled its products out of his own company.”
North American got a $392,386 contract that mysteriously became $500,000 and then Reyes got a memo requesting his approval “in the amount of $750,000. Reyes approved the deal the next day, apparently no questions asked about how a $392,386 purchase had swelled so much.”
In June 2022, Miami FBI chief and Tony pal George Piro was forced to retire after a complaint alleged he helped cover up the bid rigging scandal by improperly transferring the criminal investigation out of state to South Carolina. “The case returned to Miami — but word later got out that the investigation had ended again, for reasons unknown.”
Reyes is the unqualified Miami-Dade sheriff’s candidate endorsed by Mayor Levine Cava, who desperately promoted him to county public safety chief in order to beef up his law enforcement credentials after her endorsed candidate, former Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez shot his own eye out while attempting to commit suicide during an argument with his wife last year.
Tony donated $50,000 from his political committee to Reyes’ political committee, “the largest received by Reyes tied with another $50,000 from Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava’s PAC.”
Tony’s wealthy donors, including convicted felon and Broward Sheriff’s Advisory Council member Lewis Stahl have “kicked in an additional $69,000. Plus contributions of more than $11,000 from BSO brass have pushed the total from Tony’s associates to more than $129,000 – over 25% of the Reyes PAC’s entire reported haul to date of $504,000.”
Tony “awaits a final determination from Florida’s Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission on whether to revoke his license to be a cop for lying and yet another hearing before an administrative judge in Tallahassee.” | Posted on 26/Jun/2024 22:41:55
