HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) - Hialeah Councilwoman Angelica Pacheco turned herself in to federal officials on healthcare fraud charges.
According to The Miami Herald, Pacheco and her husband own several businesses, including a rehabilitation facility.
During the 2020 pandemic, Pacheco’s family reportedly received $500,000 in combined federal Paycheck Protection Program loans for four of their businesses.
It is unclear whether the charges are related to the loans.
Pacheco surrendered on Thursday morning.
In a statement, Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo said it was “an unfortunate day for the residents” of the city.
