Responsive Document - CREW: FDLE: Request For Records in Investigation of Rep. David Rivera: 5/14/2012 - FDLE Report (Combined)

FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
On October 13, 2010, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Michael D'Ambrosia received a
telephone call from Assistant State Attorney Joe Centorino regarding a Miami Herald article
titled "Source of Rivera's income unclear'' dated October 13, 2010. The article referenced
concerns about the financial reporting activities of State Representative David Rivera on his
required Florida Commission on Ethics financial disclosure forms. Specifically, the article
indicated various discrepancies regarding Mr. Rivera's claims of secondary income for
consulting work he completed through his company, lnteramerican Government Relations, for
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). On November 2, 2010, Mr.
Rivera was elected to the United States House of Representatives, representing Florida's 25th
Congressional District.
The Miami Herald article indicated that a press officer from USAID responded to a media
request by the Herald indicating that USAID had no record of having done business with Mr.
Rivera or his company. The article continues to report that when asked about the response
from USAID, Mr. Rivera gave conflicting explanations regarding his involvement with USAID.
He first stated that he won the USAID contracts through competitive bidding then later changed
his response stating that he worked as a subcontractor for other USAID contractors which he
failed to identify. The article indicated that Mr. Rivera listed USAID as a secondary source of
income from 2003-2009, supplemental to his Florida legislator salary of approximately $30,000
a year.
Additionally, the Miami Herald article indicated that Rivera's campaign said that lnteramerican
Government Relations has not been an active corporation since 2008, but Mr. Rivera claims
that, based upon the information reviewed on his most recent disclosure form, he earned
income from USAID in 2009. Furthermore, this information was not provided on a separate
federal disclosure form for the United States House of Representatives, of which, Mr. Rivera
was a candidate at that time.
Mr. Rivera also reported that he had received compensation for consulting work he had
provided to a company called Object Video from 2003 through 2005. Mr. Rivera claimed that
he had been paid for his consulting services for Object Video through a company called
Millennium Marketing, Inc. Mr. Rivera stated to the Miami Herald that he was not an employee
of Millenium Marketing, but rather, Millenium Marketing was a client of his.
The Miami Herald reported that Mr. Rivera's mother, Daisy Magarino, founded a company
called Millenium Marketing Strategies in 2000 but the company dissolved a year later. In 2006,
Millenium Marketing, Inc. was established by Ileana Medina which hired Ms. Magarino in 2008.

It was reported that, in 2008, Mr. Rivera paid Millenium Marketing $30,000.00 for campaign
related activity although records show Mr. Rivera ran for office unopposed. One check for
$15,000.00 was paid to the business for "campaign consulting" two days after the business was
created.
On October 13, 2010, ASAC D'Ambrosia forwarded ASA Centorino's request to the Office of
Executive Investigations' Chief Inspector Cindy Sanz for review. Additional Miami Herald
articles were later forwarded to Chief Inspector Sanz indicating that Mr. Rivera was the subject
of a current Florida Commission on Ethics complaint as well as a defendant in a lawsuit
attempting to remove him from the Congressional Ballot for filing misleading financial disclosure
forms as a state lawmaker. The articles further reported that Mr. Rivera has since amended his
state financial disclosure forms, removing any reference to USAID as a source of income.
On October 26, 2010, ASA Centorino forwarded an email to Chief Inspector Sanz that he
received from Jackson Rip Holmes on October 25, 2010. In his email, Mr. Holmes suggested
that Mr. Rivera had received income from state parimutuel organizations that he did not report
on his required financial disclosure forms. Mr. Holmes alleges that Mr Rivera received almost
$500,000.00 for bringing about the successful slot machine legislation in Florida and that this
money was possibly laundered through "dummy corporations."
On this same date, Chief Inspector Sanz advised ASA Centorino that FDLE would initiate an
investigation into the questionable income and reporting activities of Mr. Rivera regarding his
financial disclosure forms.

requested copies of recent amendments filed by former Florida Representative David Rivera
regarding his state financial disclosure forms. Mr. Rivera had previously amended his financial
disclosure forms in November of 2010. The Florida Commission on Ethics received additional
amendmnets on January 4, 2011. Mr. Rivera is currently the subject of an investigation

investment companies in addition to the addresses of his real estate property.

Accompanying the amended disclosures was correspondence from the Coates Law Firm
explaining that the information provided on the amended forms was "inadvertently excluded on
the original form 6's" (financial disclosure forms). Furthermore, it was explained that Mr. Rivera

initial disclosure forms. The Coates Law Firm stated that Mr. Rivera has repaid these
"contingent liabilities in full with interest."

Millennium Marketing by selling a condominium located at 8897 Fontaineblue Boulevard, Miami,
Florida 33172. A review of Miami-Dade County records revealed that Mr. Rivera did own the
aforementioned property and did sell said property to Millennium Marketing. On file with the
Miami-Dade County Clerk's Office is a warranty deed between David Rivera and Millennium
Marketing for the property. The deed provided that Mr. Rivera t ransferred the ownership of the
property to Millennium Marketing for "the sum of $10.00 and other good and valuable
consideration." The Warranty Deed was dated November 10, 2010, but was not recorded with
the Miami-Dade County Clerk's Office until December 22, 2010. Additionally, the deed was
witnessed and notarized by the owner of Millennium Marketing, Ileana Medina.

responded to a request by Inspector Brett Lycett of the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement's Office of Executive Investigations regarding their business relationship with
David Rivera and/or his business lnteramerican Government Relations. USAID has been

Records Center Supervisor Helena Olivares responded to Inspector's Lycett request advising
that the organizations direct-hire records, security clearance records and vendor payment
records were all reviewed and neither Mr. Rivera nor his company were identified as being
directly compensated by USAID. Additionally, Ms. Olivares stated that USAID does not
maintain records of companies that work for USAID grantees, subgrantees, contractor's or
subcontractors and would be unable to determine if Mr. Rivera or his company were indirectly
compensated by USAID.
The USAID correspondence will be maintained electronically in the Related Items (11 ) section

Analysis: In January 2011, Rivera amended his 2007-2009 Public Disclosure of Financial
Interests Reports. His amended 2009 report identified a $95,000 loan liability from "Ileana
Medina and/or Millennium Marketing." However, the account balance at the time of each of the
deposits from Millennium Marketing was at or above the daily average balance for Rivera's
account. Additionally, no significant withdrawals were located after five of the deposits
(designated with**) that would indicate a need for the loan.
After the January 2007 $25,000 deposit from Millennium Marketing, Rivera issued Check #1545

on 02/05/07 for $24,932.71 to the David Rivera Campaign Fund Account (Acct. ending IIIII
for "Campaign loan/Reimb refund." According to Bank of America subpoenaed records for that
campaign account - after the $24,932.71 deposit, Rivera's campaign account cleared
campaign expense Check #208 on 02/07/07 for $15,000 to Millennium Marketing for campaign
consulting. Although the check cleared on 02/07/07, it was back dated 09/27/06.
Subsequently, on 02/21/07 Rivera received an additional $10,000 from Millennium Marketing in
his personal account.

indicative of a campaign expense. However, of the above reimbursement checks deposited by
Rivera all except the 10/18/04 deposit and the 07/22/10 loan were used to pay personal credit

forms. During the course of this investigation, allegations arose regarding Rivera's campaign
finances. In November 2010, Government Analyst II Kelly Kimsey downloaded all of Rivera's
campaign finance reports from the Florida Department of State's Division of Elections (DOE),
Campaign Finance Database. These reports included itemized contributions and expenditures.
Additionally, Inspector Brett Lycett obtained hard copy documentation of the same from DOE as
well as Rivera's Campaign Treasurer's Report Summaries. The hard copy records from the
Division of Elections will be maintained in Related Item #14.
On November 4, 2010, Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office issued Subpoena # 10-11-10 to
Bank of America for all records pertaining to David Mauricio Rivera. This subpoena, received
on December 14, 2010, included his accounts for his state election campaigns. All Bank of
America subpoenaed records will be maintained in Related Item #12.
According to the subpoenaed documents from Bank of America, Rivera maintained the

the following:

Deposits returned due to insufficient funds and therefore not reported to DOE: $2,500.
Reported Interest was $5.58 over actual interest collected.

CAMPAIGN FINANCE SUMMARY REPORT ANALYSIS
Several of Rivera's Campaign Finance Summary Reports were amended in late 2004 to
increase the expenditures. Each of the increases reflected payments to himself or his credit
cards on 10/13/04.
Originally, the first Campaign Finance Summary Report (01/01/03-03/31/03) stamped by DOE
on 04/10/03 stated there were no expenditures during that period. On 10/15/04 (the day after
the campaign was supposed to end) the first summary was amended to reflect $4,085.70 in
expenditures. The amended expenditures were each dated 03/31/03, however the checks were
actually written on 10/13/04.

for that exact amount on 04/04/05 was payable to State Department Federal Credit Union.
Additionally, GA Kimsey located 12 reported expenditures to David Rivera for "Campaign
Reimbursement Meals and Travel" where the campaign account checks were actually written to
various credit card companies. The amount of the chec_ks totaled: $24,932.71.

{$24, 932.71) into his 2006 campaign account. The check was from his personal bank account
with Bank of America and stated in the comments, "Campaign Loan/Reimb. Refund." In
Rivera's Campaign Finance Summary Reports, this $24,932.71 was reported as a campaign
Loan and was back dated to November 2, 2006.
Research conducted on the February 2007 deposit of $24,932.71 into Rivera's Campaign
Account for "Campaign Loan/Reimb Refund" revealed the above expenditure payments to
Rivera for "Campaign Reimbursement Meals and Travel. " However, each payment was
actually sent to one of Rivera's personal credit cards. Due to the fact that Rivera's February
2007 deposit into his campaign fund was for exactly the amount of the all these payments
($24,932.71 ), it appears Rivera reimbursed all of these credit card payments.
This deposit brought Rivera's campaign account balance to $37,454.57 on the last day of his
campaign.
Deposits: $178,411.24

The above deposit of $3,000 from Mayfair Villas Condo Association stated in the comments
section of the check, "Refund Deposit 12/28/09." However, an expenditure check was not
located in the campaign account to Mayfair Villas Condo Association.
Regarding the Patton Boggs deposit on 09/23/10, Rivera's campaign expense report reflected
that on 02/19/10 Rivera issued a check for $10,000 to Patton Boggs, LLP for a Legal Retainer.
The above deposit in September could be a reimbursement to Rivera from the firm.
The refund from CompUSA was reported by Rivera in his Campaign Expense Report as
subtracted expenditures.
Contributions reported to DOE that were not deposited into the account: $3,500
Due to Rivera utilizing merchant accounts with two credit card companies during his campaign,
it was not possible to reconcile Rivera's reported contributions against his campaign account
deposits. The amount of missing contributions ($3,500) could be determined, but which
contributors they were could not be determined.
Due to Rivera utilizing credit card merchant accounts. contributions processed through
the American Express account were charged a "merchant fee. " This was taken directly
from the contribution prior to deposit into Rivera's account. American Express merchant
fees totaled: $566.82.

On February 14, 201 1, Inspector Brett Lycett of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's
Office of Executive Investigations along with Miami Dade Assistant State Attorneys Joe
Centorino and Jose Arrojo conducted a swam recorded interview of Alexander Hecht Havenick.
Mr. Havenick was previously subpoenaed and being interviewed regarding his involvement
related to the employment of former Florida Representative David Rivera by the Flagler Dog
Track to promote the slot machine referendum in Miami Dade County between 2006 and 2008.
Mr. Havenick was represented by Mr. Roberto Martinez and Mr. Daniel Gelber of the law firm
Colson, Hicks and Eidson of Coral Gables, Florida. The interview took place at the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement's Miami Regional Operations Center beginning at
approximately 2:15pm and ending at approximately 3:36pm. The following is a summary of the
information provided by Mr. Havenick.
Mr. Havenick stated that in the 1950's, that his grandfather purchased the West Flagler Kennel
Club also known as the Flagler Dog Track. The Flagler Dog Track is currently involved in
pari-mutuel activities within the State of Florida and is part of a limited partnership called West
Flagler Associates. Mr. Havenick stated that West Flagler Associates is owned by Southwest
Florida Enterprises (54.7%), a Florida corporation, with the remaining ownership split between
his mother, Barbara Havenick and his aunt, Isabelle Ander.
In 2004, Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment to authorize slot machines in
pari-mutuel facilities in Miami-Dade and Broward County, subject to local referendums. Citizens
in Broward County voted in 2005 to expand gaming in the pari-mutuel facilities in their county
but the proposal was defeated in Miami-Dade County. Mr. Havenick stated that during this
period he was in his first year of law school and was minimally involved in the referendum
efforts other than speaking with his father, Mr. Fred Havenick, about the referendum and
attending a "handful" of meetings at the headquarters for the statewide initiative.
Mr. Havenick stated that after the failed referendum in Miami Dade, his father brought the
family together and indicated that they would "succeed in the end." Fred Havenick began
preparing for a new campaign in Miami Dade County but became ill in the fall of 2005. During
this time, Mr Havenick stated that he had many in-depth conversations with his father prior to
his father's death in June 2006 concerning the new referendum. Mr. Havenick stated he
eventually became much more involved in the day-to-day operations of the family's parimutuel
interests.
Mr. Havenick was asked about his recollection of David Rivera's involvement in the referendum
and eventual employment by his family. Mr. Havenick stated that he first learned of Mr. Rivera

during a press conference in early 2005, when Mr. Rivera was present with other legislative
members supporting the slot referendum in opposition to then Governor Jeb Bush. Mr.
Have nick stated that at that time he would not have considered Mr. Rivera a close friend of the
family but Mr. Rivera became closer to the family beginning later in 2005. Mr. Havenick stated
that during the discussions with his father prior to his death that it was his understanding that
his father and members of the Calder Race Track had agreed to hire Mr. Rivera as the chief
campaign strategist for the new referendum. Mr. Havenick stated that this agreement was
formulated before he became extensively involved in the family business. Mr. Havenick also
stated that it was his understanding that it had been agreed upon by his father and others that
Mr. Rivera would receive one million dollars for his services. Mr. Havenick recalled that Mr.
Rivera may have been recommended to his father by Lori Weems, a Flagler attorney, and Mr.
Wilbur Bruten, a Calder attorney. Mr. Rivera was recommended because of the way he ran his
campaigns in addition to his knowledge of the local community.
Mr. Havenick stated that there was an agreement in principle with Mr. Rivera but no official
agreement had been drafted to his knowledge prior to November 2006. Mr. Havenick indicated
that he was not involved in drafting the final agreement but had read previous drafts where the
details were, to his understanding, negotiated by their attorney, Lori Weems. At the direction of
his attorneys, Mr. Havenick stated that previous drafts of the agreement with Mr. Rivera were
available.
Mr. Havenick was advised that the "consultant" identified within the contract was Millennium
Marketing, Inc. Mr. Havenick does not recall the reason for this company being the final
company listed in the agreement but does remember reading a previous draft of the agreement
where another business name had been crossed out and Millennium Marketing's name
inserted. Mr. Havenick could not recall the original business' name. Mr. Havenick indicated
that he had no conversations with Mr. Rivera regarding the use of Millennium Marketing as the
"consultant" identified in the agreement. Mr. Havenick stated that he did not recall ever
meeting anyone from Millennium Marketing nor was he aware of their role in the campaigning
activities. Mr. Havenick indicated that it was his understanding that Mr. Rivera was "going to do
the work." During the campaign, Mr. Havenick recalls that Mr. Rivera was assisted by Esther
Nuhfer. He remembered that Ms. Nuhfer owned a company called Communication Solutions
and that company name was one he remembered being in one draft of the agreement between
Flagler and Mr. Rivera.
As part of the agreement with Mr. Rivera and Millennium Marketing, a $50,000.00 retainer was
paid to Millennium Marketing through a company called HayDay, Inc. Mr. Havenick confirmed
this and indicated that HayDay, Inc. is one of many corporations owned by the Havenick family
but it is not involved in the parimutuel industry. When asked why this corporation provided the
retainer Mr. Havenick's attorney asked to discuss this issue later because of certain
attorney-client privilege concerns. Mr. Havenick confirmed that two additional payments were
made to Millennium Marketing totaling approximately $460,000.00. Though the contract
identified monthly payments were to be made, Mr. Havenick confirmed that monthly
installments were not paid because they were not invoiced. Mr. Havenick indicated that the
payments were accruing and were eventually paid to Millennium Marketing. Mr. Havenick also
stated that Mr. Rivera and Millennium Marketing are still owed approximately $500,000.00. Mr.
Havenick stated that the remaining payment to Mr. Rivera and Millennium Marketing has not
been made because they have not to date been invoiced for the remaining payment.
On this same date, Ms. Barbara Hecht Havenick (mother to Alexander Havenick) and Mr.
Isadore Hecht Havenick (brother of Mr. Alexander Havenick) were also interviewed regarding
Page 2
111120120417090503
IR Number: 15
their recollection of Mr. Rivera's business relationship with the Flagler Dog Track. Ms. Havenick
and Isadore Havenick provided similar sworn statements as Alexander Havenick as it relates to
Mr. Rivera's relationship to their family and his activities pertaining to the slot machine
referendums in Miami Dade County. Transcripts of all three interviews will be maintained
electronically in the Related Items (19, 20, 21) section of this investigative file.

On April 6, 2011, Inspector Brett Lycett of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Office
of Executive Investigations received correspondence from the Enwright Consulting Group
located in Tallahassee, Florida. Inspector Lycett previously contacted Mr. Randy Enwright
regarding a business relationship between his company and former Representative David
Rivera. Enwright Consulting Group had been documented by Mr. Rivera as a source of
secondary income through a company called Millennium Marketing on his 2002 financial
disclosure forms required by the State of Florida.
Mr. Enwright stated in his correspondence that his company sub-contracted with Mr. Rivera in
2002 for his services for a "grass roots project" with a company called DCI. Mr. Enwright
provided a check stub from his company to Mr. Rivera for $4000.00. Mr. Enwright indicated
that he had no additional information regarding a company called Millennium Marketing.
The correspondence and check stub copy from Enwright Consulting Group will be maintained

On February 15, 2011, Inspector Brett Lycett of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's
Office of Executive Investigations along with Miami Dade Assistant State Attorney Joe
Centorino conducted a sworn, recorded interview of Alyn Higgins. Ms. Higgins voluntarily
agreed to meet with the Miami Dade State Attorney's Office and was being interviewed
regarding her compensation of $75,000.00 from the David Rivera for Senate campaign. Ms.
Higgins was represented by Mr. Roberto Pertierra. The interview took place at the Miami Dade
State Attorney's Office beginning at approximately 1 O:OOam and ending at approximately
1 0:54am. The following is a summary of the information provided by Ms. Higgins.
Ms. Higgins stated that she began working for Marin and Sons, Inc., a well known campaign
consulting firm in south Florida, in 2008. During this time Ms. Higgins indicated that she took
part in a variety of activities including lobbying, fundraising and other campaign related
responsibilities. Ms. Higgins stated she was involved in multiple campaigns of different
individuals including Mr. Rivera.
Ms. Higgins stated she created her own company called ACH Fundraising Strategies, Inc. on
July 15, 2010. Ms. Higgins stated that she mistakenly opened the business as a limited liability
corporation. Ms Higgins had to officially close that business and then reopened ACH the next
day as an "S-corporation" for tax related purposes. Ms. Higgins stated that she created the
company because she had been working at Marin and Sons for over two and one half years
and was ready for more of a challenge and to have more flexibility in her schedule. Ms. Higgins
stated that while transitioning to her new business that she continued to work for Marin and
Sons as an independent contractor and that Mr. Marin was supportive of her decision.
Ms. Higgins stated that before she incorporated ACH, she had discussed with Mr. Rivera the
proposition of being hired to run a "thank you" campaign for his State Senate campaign. Ms.
Higgins said she also spoke with her mother and Rivera aide, Alina Garcia and lobbyist Esther
Nuhfer about the "thank you" campaign. Ms. Higgins indicated that Mr. Rivera had already
ended his State Senate Campaign to run for United States Congress prior to these discussions.
Ms. Higgins stated that she discussed a budget with Mr. Rivera and Esther Nuhfer of
$75,000.00 for the "thank-you" campaign but was given no direction on how to carry it out. Ms.
Higgins stated that she received the $75,000.00 payment in two separate checks and deposited
both in September of 2010. The checks referenced consisted of a $50,000.00 check date July,
15, 2010 and a $25,000.00 check dated August 31, 2010. Her mother, Alina Garcia, brought
the two checks to their home where Ms. Higgins recalls that she held the checks for one to two
weeks before their deposit into her business account.

Ms. Higgins indicated that because she was riot provided any direction regarding how to
proceed with the "thank you" campaign in addition to being busy with pending responsibilities
with Marin and Sons and ACH clients, she communicated back to the Rivera campaign that she
would be unable to move forward with the "thank you" campaign. Approximately two weeks
after Ms. Higgins deposited the $75,000.00 into her business account, Ms. Higgins stated that
she was advised by Ms. Nuhfer and Mr. Rivera to write a $50,000.00 check to Communication
Solutions, Inc., a company owned by Ms. Nuhfer, and a $10,000.00 check to 1GB Enterprises,
Inc., a company established by Ms. Higgins' roommate Ileana Garcia. Ms. Higgins stated she
does not know what happened with the funds nor is she aware whether or not a "thank you"
campaign was conducted by Communications Solutions or 1GB Enterprises. Ms. Higgins stated
she never discussed the issue with her roommate and 1GB Enterprises founder, Ileana Garcia.
Ms. Higgins stated the remaining $15,000.00 was spent on stamps and other campaign related
materials which she was instructed to buy by Esther Nuhfer and Alina Garcia. Ms. Higgins
stated that she personally received approximately $520.00 from these remaining funds for her
administrative activities and the purchasing of supplies. Ms. Higgins stated that she never paid
any personal creditors of Mr. Rivera.
Ms. Higgins indicated that she dissolved the ACH corporation in December 2010 because she
was offered a position as Mr. Rivera's Miami Regional Director and that it would have been a
conflict of interest to continue her fundraising activities through ACH.
A transcript of Ms. Higgins' statement along with a previously written statement (supporting
documentation included) provided to the Miami Dade State Attorney's Office will be maintained
electronically in the Related Items (23, 24) section of this investigative file.

owners since 1971. In 2007, the Calder Race Track was one of three entities that joined
together to create the political action committee named "Yes for a Greater Miami-Dade." The
purpose for this committee, created between the Calder Race Track, Flagler Dog Track and
Miami-Dade Jai-Aiai, was to support a local referendum to authorize slot machines in certain
existing pari-mutuel facilities in Miami-Dade County. Mr. Brewton stated that he was not
involved in the day-to-day operations of the PAC, but was responsible for ensuring that the
committee was set up correctly in addition to reviewing contracts that the committee was
entering into.
Mr. Brewton stated that it was agreed upon with Flagler and Calder representatives that Mr.
Rivera should be the individual hired to spearhead the campaign activities of the PAC. Mr.
Brewton indicated that this was verbally agreed upon between Flagler and Calder
representatives prior to the PAC being created. Mr. Brewton stated that Calder representatives

that "elected officials are prohibited from being employed by, or acting as a consultant for
compensation to, a political committee or committee of continuous existence." Mr. Brewton and
Calder representatives determined that if Mr. Rivera could not be paid from the PAC funds that
they would not pay him from any other source. Mr Brewton explained that Calder's position was
they would not pay Mr. Rivera indirectly if they could not pay him directly.

Arrondo voluntarily agreed to meet with the Miami Dade State Attorney's Office and was being
interviewed regarding her relationship with former State Representative David Rivera. Ms.
Arrondo's name was identified while analyzing numerous credit card transactions conducted by
Mr. Rivera which were ultimately paid for by Mr. Rivera's campaign accounts. The interview
took place at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Fort Myers Regional Operations
Center beginning at approximately 2:20pm and ending at approximately 3:38pm. The following
is a summary of the information provided by Ms. Arrondo.
Ms. Arrondo stated that her relationship with Mr. Rivera was of a personal nature and at no time
did she work for or conduct any business for Mr. Rivera or any of his campaigns. Ms. Arrondo
explained that she and Mr. Rivera first new each other from grade school in Miami, Florida. Ms
Arrondo stated that she left the South Florida area for several years and upon returning to
Miami for a high school reunion in 2002 (2003) she reconnected with Mr. Rivera. Ms. Arrondo
stated she eventually moved back to Miami and began "dating" Mr. Rivera around June of
2005. Ms. Arrondo stated that in 2007 she accepted a job in the Fort Myers, Florida area but
continued to exclusively see Mr. Rivera until the relationship ended in February of 2009.
During the relationship, Ms. Arrondo stated she was aware that Mr. Rivera was continually
involved in campaign activities, but had no specific knowledge related to sources of his income.
Ms. Arrondo stated she attended a variety of events such as fundraisers as Mr. Rivera's date
but was never personally involved in any campaign activity. Ms. Arrondo stated that while in the
relationship with Mr. Rivera, she also travelled with him on numerous occassions within and
outside the State of Florida. Ms. Arrondo indicated that none of the trips were purely of a
personal nature (vacation) and that Mr. Rivera would attend a variety of political functions
during these trips.
During an analysis of the credit card summaries related to Mr. Rivera's American Express, Ms.
Arrondo's name appeared as a passenger on flights that included trips to and/or from Las
Vegas, Miami, Tallahassee, Ft. Lauderdale, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and
Minneapolis. Ms. Arrondo was asked if she could recall these trips that she had taken with Mr.
Rivera. Ms. Arrondo was unable to recollect exact dates of the trips she took with Mr. Rivera
but did confirm that she had been to the cities referenced around the dates that were specified.

majority of the charges identified relating to the time periods associated with Ms. Arrondo's
travel with Mr. Rivera were paid for with funds from Mr. Rivera's campaign accounts.
During the interview, Ms. Arrondo also referenced other trips that she had taken with Mr. Rivera
that were not identified on his American Express credit card. An analysis of other credit cards
belonging to Mr. Rivera had been previously conducted which identified multiple charges for
food, travel , lodging and other miscellaneous expenses outside the State of Florida. Ms.

confirm trips to New York, Dallas, Las Vegas, Grapevine (Texas), Asheville (North Carolina),
Marco Island (Florida), Lake Buena Vista (Florida), Brooklyn (New York) and multiple trips to
Washington D.C. These additional trips identified by Ms. Arrondo corresponded with charges
including food, travel, lodging and entertainment expenses on Mr. Rivera's credit cards that
were also paid for with campaign funds. Ms. Arrondo additionally stated that Mr. Rivera would
pay for expenses incurred when she visited him in Miami and when he would visit her in Ft.
Myers. Ms. Arrondo indicated she had no knowledge of how Mr. Rivera paid for his personal
expenses or credit card debts.

On April 28, 2011 , Inspector Brett Lycett of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Office
of Executive Investigations along with Miami Dade Assistant State Attorney Joe Centorino
conducted a sworn, recorded interview of Ileana Garcia. Ms. Garcia, pursuant to a subpoena,
was being interviewed regarding her business relationship with former Florida Representative
David Rivera and her compensation from campaign funds. Ms. Garcia was represented by Mr.
Roberto Pertierra and Mr. Robert Fernandez. The interview took place at the Miami Dade State
Attorney's Office beginning at approximately 9:55am and ending at approximately 2:55pm. The
following is a summary of the information provided by Ms. Garcia.
Ms. Garcia stated that she began working for Mr. Rivera in late 2008. Ms. Garcia explained
that prior to working for Mr. Rivera that she worked in the legislative office of Senator Alex Diaz
de Ia Portilla and left his office to work for Mr. Rivera. Ms. Garcia stated that Alina Garcia, the
individual she lives with and Mr. Rivera's aide at the time, set up a meeting between herself and
Mr. Rivera. Ms. Garcia stated Mr. Rivera employed her on a full time basis to work on his 2008
campaign. Ms. Garcia explained that she had a variety of duties but focused mainly on
accounting and f inancial responsibilities involved in terminating the campaign including
reviewing campaign reports against the campaign bank account.
Ms. Garcia stated that after the 2008 campaign was over Mr. Rivera approached her and asked
her if she wanted to work for his 2010 Senate campaign. Ms Garcia accepted the employment
offer but requested a higher salary. Ms. Garcia stated that Mr. Rivera agreed to her request
and it was her understanding that she would be on-call and working for different entities related
to Mr. Rivera's campaign including the Future Leadership Committee. Ms. Garcia stated that
her main role was to perform accounting functions for the campaign and the committee but
would also be involved in other various campaign projects. Ms. Garcia stated that during the
2010 campaign she inputted information for Mr. Rivera's campaign financial reports which he
would later submit to the Florida Department of State, Division of Elections.
Ms. Garcia explained that she continued to work on Mr. Rivera's Senate campaign through
February of 2010, at which time Mr. Rivera dropped out of the Florida Senate race and ran for
United States Congress. Ms. Garcia stated that she worked on financially closing Mr. Rivera's
state campaign fund account and began working on his US Congressional campaign. Ms.
Garcia stated that although Mr. Rivera withdrew from the state Senate race in February 2010,
the campaign account remained active until his official "disqualification" (failure to complete the
proper paperwok) in June 2010. Ms Garcia stated that it was after this date that there was a
specified amount of time until the funds that remained in his state campaign account had to be
properly disposed of. Ms. Garcia explained that refunds were provided to some contributors,

charitable donations were made and other bills were paid. Ms. Garcia stated that she had the
authority to prepare checks from the campaign account but the checks were always reviewed
and signed by Mr. Rivera.
In addition to the previous expenditures, Ms. Garcia stated that monies were also provided to a
company called ACH Fundraising Strategies, Inc. to conduct a "thank you" campaign. Ms.
Garcia stated that her role was to assist by providing campaign data to the company and to
track expenditures. Ms. Garcia stated that she was aware that ACH was a company created by
Alyn Higgins who was Alina Garcia's daughter and who was living in the same house as herself
and Alina Garcia. Ms. Garcia stated that $75,000.00 was paid to ACH and of those monies
$10,000.00 was paid by ACH to Ms. Garcia's business (1GB Enterprises, Inc.) for preparing
data for the "thank you" campaign and $50,000.00 went to the company Communication
Solutions, owned by Esther Nuhfer. Ms Garcia stated she has known Ms. Nuhfer for five years
because of her involvement with the Rivera campaigns but does not have any knowledge of
how Communication Solutions allocated the funds. Ms. Garcia stated the remaining
$15,000.00 was spent on stamps purchased by ACH.
Ms. Garcia was provided information from Inspector Lycett regarding the payments she
received from Mr. Rivera's state campaign accounts. Ms. Garcia was advised that she
personally received almost $16,000.00 between 2008 and 2010 from Mr. Rivera's campaign
account and that her business received an additional $6000.00 in 2010. Ms. Garcia explained
that the compensation received was for reimbursements and/or legitimate services she
provided to the Rivera campaign. Ms. Garcia was also advised that she along with her
business received $23,500.00 between 2009 and 2010 from the Future Leadership Committee.
Ms. Garcia explained the entity was a political committee of continuous existence and that she
was given direction by Mr. Rivera as to her activities for the committee. Ms. Garcia explained
that the compensation received was for legitimate services she provided to the committee. Ms.
Garcia was also advised that she received approximately $26,000.00 between 2009 and 2010
from a company called E & N Group which was owned by Esther Nuhfer. Ms. Garcia stated
that all the work she did for Ms. Nuhfer was related to Mr. Rivera's campaigns.
Ms. Garcia was asked several questions regarding her recollection about writing multiple
reimbursement checks to Mr. Rivera throughout his campaign. Ms. Garcia stated that she
would be advised by Mr. Rivera to write a reimbursement check but she could not recall
receiving invoices related to the reimbursement checks she wrote. Ms. Garcia was asked
about the discrepancy in dates regarding several campaign expenditures that appeared to be
back dated. Ms. Garcia stated that she was never asked to back date a check but would follow
the instructions provided to her by Mr. Rivera when dating expenditure checks and completing
campaign finance reports. Ms. Garcia stated that she did amend financial reports on occasion
to update expenditures that were referenced during a certain reporting period. Ms. Garcia
indicated that she performed these amendments at the direction of Mr. Rivera.
Ms. Garcia stated that she still has access to Mr. Rivera's State Senate campaign account and
advised that it still has a balance. When Ms. Garcia was asked why the funds had not been
disposed of within the time limits prescribed in state statute she stated that she had been
advised by Mr. Rivera only to let him know what was in the account.
Ms Garcia stated that out of all the compensation that she has received related to payments
from Mr. Rivera's campaign or from payments indirectly related to Mr. Rivera's campaign that
she has never returned any money to Mr. Rivera, other than a campaign contribution, nor has
she paid any of his personal liabilities.

of Executive Investigations along with Miami Dade Assistant State Attorney Joe Centorino
conducted a sworn, recorded interview of Esther Nuhfer. Ms. Nuhfer voluntarily agreed to meet
with investigators and was being interviewed regarding her business relationship with former
Florida Representative David Rivera and her compensation from campaign funds. Ms. Nuhfer
was represented by Mr. Eric Padron. The interview took place at the Miami Dade State
Attorney's Office beginning at approximately 1:45pm. The following is a summary of the
information provided by Ms. Nuhfer. Note: A detailed analysis of Ms. Nuhfer's financial activity
can be reviewed in IR # 28.
Ms. Nuhfer stated that in 2004, she created her own business named E&N Group which is
currently "doing business as" Communication Solutions. Ms. Nuhfer indicated that the business
was created to perform a variety of political services including working on campaigns,
advertising, media buys, public relations etc. which she has performed for former Florida
Representative David Rivera. Ms. Nuhfer explained that she first met Mr. Rivera in 2002 when
she was invited to a fundraising event by her friend Alina Garcia who was also Mr. Rivera's
aide. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she started volunteering for Mr. Rivera's subsequent campaigns
and became a paid consultant for Mr. Rivera in 2006.
Ms. Nuhfer stated that when it came to providing services to the Rivera campaigns that an
official contract was not initiated. Ms. Nuhfer explained that since she was friends with Mr.
Rivera that the terms of her services were verbally agreed upon. Ms. Nuhfer stated that for her
services, she and Mr. Rivera agreed that she would be provided a consultant fee in addition to
10 to 15 percent of any fundraising totals she facilitated. Ms. Nuhfer would also receive fees
from other services performed such as "media buys"/advertising, grassroots activities, absentee
balloting, election day activities etc. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she has not kept records of the fees
that she has received from Mr. Rivera's campaign or any other campaigns she has provided
services to.
Ms. Nuhfer was asked if she was aware of a political position known as "state committeeman"
and whether she has provided any political services for Mr. Rivera regarding this position. Ms.
Nuhfer explained that she was knowledgeable about the position and believed that she had

Ms. Nuhfer was then questioned regarding her involvement in Mr. Rivera's 2010 campaign for
Florida State Senate. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she was involved in assisting Mr. Rivera and
indicated that she may have had a contract with Mr. Rivera for that campaign. Ms. Nuhfer
indicated that she was not sure if the contract was for the Florida Senate Campaign or his
Congressional campaign. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she had the same agreement with Mr. Rivera
which was she would receive a 15 percent fee based on the total amount raised for his
campaign. Ms. Nuhfer was advised by Inspector Lycett that she received $250,000.00 from the
Rivera Senate campaign after Mr. Rivera had removed himself from the State Senate race and
began his Congressional campaign. Furthermore, Ms. Nuhfer was advised that she received
five separate $50,000.00 checks, the last four occurring in a three month period. Ms. Nuhfer
was asked why she received these funds in the manner that they were provided. Ms. Nuhfer
stated that she did not know why Mr. Rivera paid her the way he did. Ms. Nuhfer explained that
in this situation her entire fee was to be paid at the end of the campaign and that is why she
received the large sum after the campaign was over.
While working for Mr. Rivera, Ms. Nuhfer was also receiving fees from the Republican Party of
Florida and the Republican Party of Miami Dade County. Ms. Nuhfer explained that her
compensation from the Republican Party of Florida was for "media buying" and Mr. Rivera was
not involved in any of the services she provided to the Republican Party of Florida. Ms. Nuhfer
stated that when working for the Republican Party of Miami Dade County that some of the
services she provided was for Mr. Rivera, but included other candidates as well. Ms. Nuhfer
stated that Mr. Rivera was not involved in the negotiations regarding her fees related to the
Republican Party of Miami Dade County.
Ms. Nuhfer was then advised that upon reviewing her financial statements that after receiving
the $250,000.00 payment from Mr. Rivera that approximately $90,000.00 was withdrawn in
cash from her various accounts. Ms. Nuhfer explained that this money was used to pay
campaign workers who she hired. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she kept a ledger regarding the
payments to these workers, but did not currently have the information for the State Attorney's
office but could provide it at a later date. Ms. Nuhfer indicated that these workers were paid for
a variety of services including "get out the vote" activities, phone banking etc. for multiple
Republican candidates. Ms. Nuhfer indicated that the money from Mr. Rivera was not used to
pay for the campaign workers, that it was the money that she received from the Republican
Party of Florida. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she has never given any money back to Mr. Rivera that
she received as payment from his campaigns.
Ms. Nuhfer was advised that a review of Mr. Rivera's finances showed that she paid the
balance of one of Mr. Rivera's personal credit cards in 2009. Ms. Nuhfer stated she does not
recall this payment and would have to review her records for an explanation.
Ms. Nuhfer was asked if she had ever travelled out of state with Mr. Rivera regarding
fundraising activities related to his state campaigns. Ms. Nuhfer stated she had made several
trips with Mr. Rivera regarding out of state fundraisers that included Las Vegas, Washington
D.C, New York, Memphis and Louisville. Ms. Nuhfer stated she could not specifically recall if it
was for his state campaign or his congressional campaign. Ms. Nuhfer was advised that all the
referenced trips occurred after February 2010 when Mr. Rivera stopped running for State
Senate and began campaigning for Congress. Ms. Nuhfer stated that the trips would then be
related to his Congressional campaign. Ms. Nuhfer stated that Mr. Rivera paid for all of her
flight, lodging and food costs while on these trips.

On July 13, 2011, Ms. Nuhfer returned to the Miami Dade State Attorney's Office under
subpoena for a follow-up interview. Ms Nuhfer was again represented by Mr. Eric Padron. The
following is a summary of the information provided by Ms. Nuhfer.
Ms. Nuhfer first addressed the purpose of why she paid $4800 to Mr. Rivera's personal credit
card in May of 2009. Ms. Nuhfer stated that this payment was a travel reimbursement to Mr.
Rivera for trips made to Central and South America. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she was part of a
committee that organized the Miami Herald America's Conference, an event that centered
around discussing politics. Ms. Nuhfer explained that she was able to have Mr. Rivera speak at
certain venues of which he incurred travel costs. Ms. Nuhfer stated she reimbursed Mr. Rivera
for these travel costs after she received payment from the committee. Ms. Nuhfer stated she
received a voucher from Mr. Rivera for the expenses and felt more comfortable sending the
payment to the credit card that he used to pay for the expenses rather than writing a check to
Mr. Rivera.
Ms. Nuhfer next addressed the question of why she made several withdrawals of
approximately $90,000 in cash in October of 2010 from her accounts. Ms. Nuhfer explained
that the large cash withdrawal can be attributed to her paying campaign workers during the
elections of 201 0. Ms. Nuhfer provided handwritten and excel printouts that detailed the
payments to a number of individuals. Ms. Nuhfer stated that payments ranged from "phone
banking", gas payments, "walkers", and other poll worker activities. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she
did not distribute the payments personally, but handled all the cash and prepared all the
envelopes used to pay the workers. Ms. Nuhfer stated that she was working for the Republican
Party of Miami Dade at the same time she was working for the Rivera campaign. Ms. Nuhfer
stated that the payments to the poll workers included activities for other candidates in addition
to Mr. Rivera.
Ms. Nuhfer was asked if she could explain several cash withdrawals that occurred in August of
2010 that amounted to approximately $100,000. Ms. Nuhfer said that these monies were used
to pay workers during the primary elections of 2010, but had no supporting documentation that
detailed the disbursement of funds.
Ms. Nuhfer was again asked about certain trips that she had taken with Mr. Rivera after
February of 2010. Ms. Nuhfer was reminded that Mr. Rivera stopped running for a state Senate
seat in Florida to run for United States Congress. Ms. Nuhfer stated that any trips taken after
February of 2010 would have been campaign related for his congressional campaign. Ms.
Nuhfer was specifically asked about a trip to Las Vegas that occurred in March of 2010, which
she recalled being a fundraising trip for Mr. Rivera's Congressional campaign.
Ms. Nuhfer reiterated from her previous interview that she has never given any money back to
Mr. Rivera that she received as payment from his campaigns.

Magarino agreed to meet with investigators under subpoena and was being interviewed
regarding her business relationship with former Florida Representative David Rivera. Ms.
Magarino was represented by Mr. Roy Kahn. The interview took place at the Miami Dade State
Attorney's Office beginning at approximately 3:22pm and ending at approximately 5:34pm. The
following is a summary of the information provided by Ms. Magarino.
Ms. Magarino stated that David Rivera is her son and, as it relates to this investigation, stated
that Mr. River approached her and Ileana Medina sometime in 2006 to discuss the creation of a
business known as Millennium Marketing, Inc. Ms. Magarino stated that Mr. Rivera advised
them that he had a business opportunity and asked her if they wanted to participate. Ms.
Magarino said that Mr. Rivera advised them that the business would be created to perform
various marketing activities, and that he would be conducting the majority of the work. Ms.
Magarino stated that she had no previous experience regarding marketing activities but
assisted Ms. Medina in creating the company.
Ms. Magarino stated that Millennium Marketing and Mr. Rivera entered into a contract with the
Flagler Dog Track (Southwest Florida Enterprises), of which, Mr. Rivera was the "point man."
Ms. Magarino stated that she never participated in any of the contract negotiations. Ms.
Magarino stated that she and Ms. Medina were not involved in any of the marketing services
provided to the Flagler Dog Track, but performed various administrative tasks for Mr. Rivera.
Ms. Magarino stated that Millennium Marketing has provided no other services to any individual
or business except for Mr. Rivera.
Ms. Magarino was aware that the above contract was worth $1,000,000. She stated that Mr.
Rivera wanted to assist her and Ms. Medina financially, and a verbal agreement was made that
the first half of the monies collected would belong to her and Ms. Medina while the other
$500,000 would belong to Mr. Rivera. Of this first $500,000, Mr. Rivera received approximately
$132,000 in apparent loans from Millennium Marketing. Along with copies of the checks, Ms.
Magarino was shown copies of numerous promissory notes related to these loans. Ms.
Magarino, as the accountant for Millennium Marketing, stated that she prepared both the
checks and related promissory notes. Ms. Magarino stated that each check and promissory
note was prepared pursuant to a request by Mr. Rivera asking for a loan. Ms. Magarino stated
that she never knew what the loans were for or why Mr. Rivera needed the money. Ms.
Magarino indicated that it was Mr. Rivera's idea to write up the loans using the promissory note

document. Ms. Magarino stated she prepared the promissory note master copy on a computer,
but when asked where the computer was located she stated that she had thrown the computer
away. Ms. Magarino said that from this master copy, she made copies of that document each
time Mr. Rivera requested a loan and filled it out accordingly. Ms. Magarino stated that Mr.
Rivera was provided all the original copies of the promissory notes when he paid the loan back.
As part of the repayment, Mr. Rivera paid back $40,000 via personal checks. Ms Magarino was
advised that this payment was only possible after Mr. Rivera received a loan from Ms. Medina
of $49,000 prior to his repayment. When asked about this transaction, Ms. Magarino could
provide no explanation regarding the details of the loan repayment.
Ms Magarino was also provided a copy of a check from Mr. Rivera's 2006 political campaign
that was written for $15,000 to Millennium Marketing. When asked what this check was for, Ms.
Magarino stated that the money was to compensate Ms. Medina for the work she had
completed for Mr. Rivera's campaign. Ms. Magarino stated she did not know why Mr. Rivera
did not pay Ms. Magarino directly or why the check was made out to Millennium Marketing. Ms.
Magarino stated that it could have been made out to the company as start up funds to be
placed in the company account, but was not sure. Ms. Magarino was also asked if she knew
why the check was deposited in February 2007, when the check was actually dated September
2006. Ms. Magarino stated she may have received the check from Mr. Rivera and then held on
to it and deposited later, but she could not recall for sure.
