A former Aventura condo board
president has been found guilty on federal conspiracy and wire fraud
charges.
Widely circulated video from 2024
showed Gregori Arzumanov being led out of the Turnberry on the Green
condominium lobby in handcuffs.

Miami-Dade prosecutors
accused him of embezzling more than $1.5 million from the
condo association. The 64-year-old has pleaded not guilty in
that case.
Last year, while out on bond, he was arrested again. This
time, a federal indictment accused Arzumanov and another
individual of conspiring to “fraudulently” transfer condo
association money “for their own use and benefit.”
Arzumanov’s defense attorneys argued the transfer of funds
was for a “legitimate investment intended to benefit” the
association, “rather than to cause financial loss.”
But on Wednesday, a federal jury found Arzumanov guilty on
all counts.
He’s being held at the Federal Detention Center in Miami,
according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ website. |
