Michele Fiore, the former Las Vegas councilwoman and ex-gubernatorial candidate, has been found guilty of federal wire fraud after misappropriating $70,000 meant for a memorial statue honoring a slain police officer for her personal expenses. The jury convicted her on all counts during the trial, which included significant testimony from Nevada Governor Lombardo, who described himself as a victim in the case. Complications arose during the trial with the dismissal of testimony from Fiore’s daughter, who invoked her Fifth Amendment rights amid accusations of perjury. This ruling, along with the indictment of other political figures related to the corruption case, underscores ongoing concerns about public trust and accountability in Nevada politics.
