HARRISBURG, Pa. Acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania Bruce D.

Brandler said his office will work with Special Inspector General Brian D. Miller on the cases after the two offices entered a Memorandum of Understanding.
“This partnership is part of our on-going efforts to investigate and prosecute the fraudsters who have stolen millions of dollars from government backed relief programs during the pandemic, Brandler said in a press release. This is a high-priority area for our office and we look forward to working with SIGPR to hold accountable anyone who illegally profited at the expense of the American taxpayer.”
