ORLANDO, Fla. — New documents released by prosecutors Tuesday show that former Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill is now under federal investigation.
The documents show that the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development opened an investigation into Hill last year, accusing her of applying for and receiving a $428,000 federal loan for a mortgage on a home.
That home was sold by HUD and is the same one that state investigators said Hill took after fraudulently obtaining a power of attorney over a 96-year-old woman.
