Published 6 days ago
Description
The Justice Department is bolstering its efforts to combat government fraud in Minnesota, with Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing a team of additional prosecutors. This move comes amidst major scandals, such as the Feeding Our Future case, where $250 million in pandemic funds for kids meals were allegedly stolen. Prosecutors have charged 98 defendants, including 85 people of Somali descent, and secured 64 convictions. Fraud probes also target Minnesotas housing aid and autism support programs. The feds are ready to take action against similar schemes in other states, aiming to restore trust and safeguard taxpayer dollars.
