Millionaire Miami developer dead amid murder for hire allegations #SergioPino #TatianaPino #MurderforHire Before he shot himself in the bedroom of his waterfront Coral Gables mansion Tuesday, prominent South Florida builder and developer Sergio Pino was about to be arrested for soliciting multiple attempts by several individuals to murder his wife before their contentious and lucrative divorce became final, according to federal law enforcement officials. Nine people are now in custody in connection with what the FBI agent in charge called “two murder crews” Pino hired and ordered to carry out the murder of his wife, Tatiana, who filed for divorce in April 2022. “He decided he was going to kill his wife,” said U.S. Attorney Markenzy Lapointe at a news conference Wednesday, citing an attempted poisoning with fentanyl, stalking and a botched attempt to injure her with a rented flatbed truck as she drove home from a divorce court hearing in August 2023. But it was in June 2024 when “hitmen” who were alleged to be paid $300,000 followed Tatiana home, where one of them got out of his vehicle armed with a firearm, and chased the car she was driving, but was unsuccessful because Tatiana made it into her home, Lapointe said.
