Former Florida senator convicted in ‘ghost candidates’ scandal
Former Florida state Sen. Frank Artiles was convicted by a Miami-Dade Circuit Court jury on Monday evening, the latest fallout from the state’s 2020 “ghost candidates” scandal.
Artiles was convicted on three felony counts related to $44,000 in payments he made to Alex Rodriguez, a no-party candidate whose role was to siphon votes from Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez, the Democratic incumbent.
