» Sample Case:: Operation Gas Leak: The Miami Gas Scam
Ever wonder why
you have to enter your ZIP code every time you pump gas with a
credit card? The answer lies with Operation Gas Leak, which was a
huge criminal enterprise in Miami-Dade that involved 40-plus
defendants, and 44-plus vehicles, two of which were full-sized gas
tankers.
FACTS: The scam involved over 50 individuals. First, there were the street people, who obtained stolen credit cards and used them to purchase gas at numerous gas stations in Miami-Dade County. These individuals would use cars equipped with an additional, home-made gas tank. The gas was pumped into the personal vehicles with the illegal tanks, and then transported to a central location, a.k.a. the "Fuel Farm." At the Fuel Farm, the gas was pumped from the hidden tanks into large, full-sized gas tankers (18-wheelers). The tankers would then return to the gas stations (from where the gas was originally taken from) and sell the gas back to the gas stations at reduced prices.
RESULT: Criminal lawyer Robert Abreu represented the #3 defendant in
the entire organization who owned the Fuel Farm property and many of
the smaller vehicles. She was charged with RICO and Conspiracy to
Commit RICO. After tough lawyering and extensive negotiations, Mr.
Abreu had the charges against his client dismissed and the seized
property returned. This case ended up being on the largest RICO
cases in South Florida history.
