50 to 70 Broward County Sheriff's Office deputies up on defrauding the Covid PPP loan program

Dozens of Broward Sheriff’s Office employees, including several deputies, are accused of an elaborate cash crime revolving around Paycheck Protection Program loans during the coronavirus pandemic, according to published reports.

According to Florida Bulldog investigative reporter Dan Christensen, between 50 and 70 BSO employees will soon be charged with fraud. They are accused of fraudulently applying and receiving large PPP loans under the Federal Paycheck Protection Program that began during the COVID crisis.

Christensen spoke with 7News on Wednesday.

“I’ve heard- the word that’s going around at Broward Sheriff’s Office is 50 to 70 employees, mostly deputies, sworn deputies, detention deputies and other employees that are part of a PPP fraud loan investigation and that indictments are coming down,” he said. “Since I wrote the story, I’ve heard it could be as early as tomorrow.”
