North Miami Beach Mayor Anthony “Tony” DeFillipo has been arrested and faces up to 15 years in prison for voting from an address where he doesn’t live.
He is charged with three third-degree felony counts of illegal voting, State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle confirmed. Each carries an up to five-year prison sentence, $5,000 in fines and five years probation.
“We in law enforcement take actions which violate our election laws very seriously. They are crimes,” she said on Twitter.
During an afternoon press conference Wednesday, Fernandez Rundle said her office has evidence DeFillipo voted illegally three times.
She said locational data from DeFillipo’s cell phone will prove he traveled from Broward County to North Miami to cast ballots in August, October and November 2022 despite no longer being a resident of the city.
