Las Vegas GOP City Councilor Accused of Stealing Donations Intended for a Memorial to Fallen Officer
Michele Fiore, a longtime RNC committeewoman and former Las Vegas city councilor, is accused of stealing $70,000 from a charity she set up to build a memorial to a dead police officer, according to an indictment filed by the DOJ on Tuesday.
During the unveiling of a park memorializing Alyn Beck in 2018, a Las Vegas police officer who was killed in the line of duty, Fiore proposed the city build a statute to Beck, according to the Nevada Independent.
Fiore then, allegedly, contracted a company to build the statue and falsely told the company that “she had appropriated discretionary funds through the City of Las Vegas,” to pay for it, according to the indictment.
