HALLANDALE BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A former South Florida commissioner is now in the clear after being accused of taking bribes.
Bill Julian was placed under criminal investigation, last year, after accusations of taking favors from a developer surfaced. He allegedly took favors in exchange for a vote on a multi-million dollar construction project.
The former Hallandale Beach commissioner vowed he was innocent.
“After a 15-month long investigation, I’ve been found completely innocent of all charges that was levied against me by former rivals during the political campaign,” Julian said. “To think that the public, I would lose their confidence, that I was honest.”
After 14 months, the State Attorney’s Office finally vindicated him.
Julian lost his seat during last November’s election. He plans to run again.
