“It is absolutely untrue,” Grie-co told the Miami Herald onTuesday. “You can look right intomy soul.”

But new evidence suggestsotherwise: Handwriting on apublic document filed by thegroup — People for Better Lead-ers — is identical to handwritingon paperwork the commissionerfilled out for city elections, ac-cording to twowell-regardedforensic documentexperts.

Their findingsdirectly link Griecoto the politicalaction committeehe has repudiated.

So far, Peoplefor Better Leaders has raised$200,000 from Beach residentsand special interests. The politi-cal action committee, or PAC, isrun by Grieco’s friend, BrianAbraham, the former manager atKing of Diamonds, a Miami-Dade strip club.
