Authorities are investigating a Miami millionaire’s alleged plot to kill his estranged wife several times over a period of years by hiring hit men and poisoning her with fentanyl, police say.
“I’ve been in law enforcement for 27 years, and something like this … it seemed like something out of a Hollywood movie, but this was unfortunately real life,” Pinecrest Police Department Chief Jason Cohen told Fox News Digital.
On June 23, Alessandra Pino, 26, called 911 and said somebody had just pointed a gun at her as her mother was pulling into the driveway of their house.
“Oh my gosh. My mom is here,” she told the operator, according to the Miami Herald. “They might have shot her.”
The armed ambush was part of a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by Alessandra’s father, Miami developer Sergio Pino, against his estranged wife, Tatiana Pino, the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a press conference last month.
“[Tatiana] came home from her morning errands, and as she pulled in the driveway, this person pulled up, got out of the car with a firearm,” Cohen said. “Her daughter actually came out of the house and kind of went face to face with this gunman who clearly wasn’t there for the daughter because he, from what I understand, he had the ability to shoot her if he wanted to, and he didn’t.”

So.. it’s true..
It really IS hard to find good help these days.
Looks like even RICH ‘Florida Man’ is nuts...
Hopefully he goes behind bars for the rest of his life.

The fall of a Cuban rich man
If she has lived through multiple attempts then maybe she isnt the kind of person she should be messing with.
Oh, crap. I just accidentally wrote the story for the next big hollywood hit.
Cheapskate wouldn’t even pay for competent professionals. Of course, if he wasn’t a cheapskate, he’d pay her what she was due, and wouldn’t have gotten himself in this mess.
As they used to say on TV: “All the accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty” or something along those lines.
Our undocumented workers to the rescue for this.
I am hooked on 48 Hours on YouTube. I just watched 3 episodes about this very thing. Note to self…. Every hitman you meet with is a cop. 😃
well...gotta meet his wife first before making a definitive decision.
I’ve know about this story for a while because I know one of the family members involved, on the victim side. It’s been an ongoing investigation for a long while.
It’s pathetic what this freak put his wife and her extended family through.
He sounds like a real POS
Now that’s a cat lady
He was. My friend is not someone to be trifled with but the FBI and others were involved so he couldn’t just take care of business.
Sounds terrible
In this movie there seems to be a great demand for hitmen, but, nearly all of the time, such a person does not exist.
From ChatGPT:
The recent movie you’re referring to is likely “Hit Man” (2023), directed by Richard Linklater. The film stars Glen Powell as Gary Johnson, a college professor who becomes an undercover agent posing as a hitman to help the police catch people looking to hire a killer. The story is based on true events, where the real Gary Johnson assisted law enforcement in arresting over 60 individuals12.
The movie blends elements of drama and dark comedy, and it has received positive reviews for its engaging plot.

Pardon me, storylines are plentiful but writing sellable screenplays is what really matters. And then too most movies turn out to be box-office duds.
