A bribery scheme involving Miami-Dade County’s Metrorail system has led to several guilty pleas from key figures, including former transit superintendent Dale Robinson. Federal prosecutors revealed that Robinson solicited a bribe from executive Jessie Bledsoe of a contracting firm while overseeing Metrorail maintenance contracts. Robinson used a fake company, set up by his wife, to bill for work that was never performed, resulting in $76,000 received. Both Bledsoe and Robinson's wife, Marcia, also pleaded guilty, facing potential prison sentences for their roles in the scandal.
