Attorney says Broward officials received subpoenas

An attorney says Broward County officials have been subpoenaed in an apparent statewide prosecutor investigation.

The development involves subpoenas served on county officials, but the attorney’s statement does not identify the officials, the prosecutor or the subject of the inquiry. It also does not state when the subpoenas were issued or what records or testimony they seek.

What is known

The subpoenas are tied to what appears to be a statewide prosecutor probe. A subpoena is a formal demand for documents, testimony or other information. Receiving one does not by itself establish that an official or agency has violated the law.

The attorney’s statement does not say whether the officials are targets of the investigation, witnesses or custodians of records. It also does not describe any allegations, charges or court action.

What happens next

The next steps may include responses to the subpoenas, requests to narrow or challenge them, or additional legal filings. The attorney involved has not publicly identified the records sought or described the investigation’s status.

The case remains at the subpoena stage in the account of the development. Any conclusions about wrongdoing would require additional official findings or court action.
