The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota announced federal criminal charges against 10 additional defendants for their alleged roles in the fraud scheme that exploited a federally-funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prosecutors have charged another 10 people allegedly connected to the Twin Cities nonprofit Feeding our Future. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minneapolis now says 70 people took part in a conspiracy to steal at least $250 million from government nutrition programs meant for children in need.
