 Hilda Hall, President and Executive Director of the Business Technology Development Corporation (BTDC), was arrested early Thursday morning following a joint investigation by the Miami-Dade Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the State Attorney's Office.
 The OIG initially received the complaint from the Miami-Dade County Department of Public Housing and Community Development.
 During the ensuing investigation it was discovered that Hall-Denis had fraudulently obtained and misused public funds received from Miami-Dade County, the Homestead Community Redevelopment Agency (Homestead CRA), and the State of Florida Division of Blind Services.
 Hall-Denis was arrested on 1 count of Organized Scheme to Defraud (felony in the first degree), 4 counts of Grand Theft (felonies in the first degree), 3 counts of Grand Theft (felonies in the second degree), and 3 counts of Criminal Use of Personal Identification Information (felonies in the third degree).
Stay tuned to the South Dade News Leader for more information as it becomes available.
