Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle is bringing charges against nine alleged organizers of a homeowners insurance scam, following a yearlong investigation that found several false and exacerbated water-damage claims had defrauded insurance companies of more than $600,000.

Public adjuster Barbara Maria Diaz de Villegas is accused of running the scam with her father Jose Gonzalez, also a public adjuster — charged with advocating for homeowners in appraising and negotiating claims, and typically entitled to a cut of any settlement.
