REVEALED: Developers of doomed Miami condo tower were accused of PAYING OFF officials to get permits as Miami urges inspections of all buildings taller than six stories and over 40 years old within 45 days
Developers of the Miami tower that collapsed were previously accused by building rivals of paying off officials to get permits, according to a Washington Post investigation
The developers bypassed a construction moratorium in 1979 by agreeing to pick up half of the $400,000 sewer repair tab
Other developers, whose projects were still stalled, believed the tower s developers were getting preferential treatment and accused of them paying off officials in campaign donations
Authorities identified Antonio Lozano, 83, his wife Gladys Lozano, 79, Manny Lafont, 54 and Stacy Fang, 54, as four of the five people who died in the deadly Miami condo collapse.
