Federal marshals have seized the home of Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo in an attempt to cover a $63 million verdict. The authorities appeared at Carollo’s home to begin the seizure process, notifying him that he must sell his house.
“I’m not leaving here,” Carollo reportedly said in response to the federal agents’ notification.

This development is causing shock and controversy in the Miami community, as it is not every day that a public official’s home is seized by federal marshals to cover such a substantial financial obligation.
More details are expected to emerge in the coming days as this story continues to unfold, but for now, it appears that Commissioner Carollo is facing a significant and unprecedented challenge in his personal and professional life. The situation is likely to raise questions about Carollo’s financial situation and how this could impact his ability to serve the Miami community as a commissioner.
The Miami community will undoubtedly be closely following this story as it progresses.
