FBI Raids Home of Food Fraud Defendant Amid Jury Bribe Probe
TL;DR Summary
A jury in Minneapolis has yet to reach a verdict in the trial of seven individuals accused of stealing over $40 million from a COVID-19 relief program meant to feed children. The trial has been complicated by an attempted bribe involving a $120,000 cash gift to a juror. The FBI is investigating the bribe and has conducted searches, including at the home of one of the alleged ringleaders, Abdiaziz Shafii Farah. The defendants are part of a larger scheme that allegedly diverted $250 million in federal funds, with 18 others having already pleaded guilty.
