First on Fox: The $ 250 million fraud scheme exploiting the nutritional program of federally funded children during the Covid-19 epidemic has been described by FBI director Kash Patel as “the worst” in the history of Minnesota.
The FBI director told Fox News in a statement that 70 people in Minnesota have been motivated for his role in the “Feeding Hour Future” fraud scheme during the Kovid -19 epidemic, which exploited a federal program designed to reimburse the states for the cost of feeding children.
Conspirators claimed to have served millions of food during epidemic, but instead used funds for personal gain. FBI officials told Fox News Digital that 38 of the individuals were convicted. With the next test starting in August, more than a dozen individuals are waiting for a criminal trial.
FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement, “Hunger is as shameless to steal more than $ 250 million during Hungai and fund the mansion and luxury cars as shameless.” “I am proud to eliminate this web of corruption, be dozens of accountable and send a clear message to the FBI and our partners: if you exploit the weakest people, we will find you and bring you to justice.”

Conspirators charged in the scheme are accused of creating challans, presenting fake attendance records, and distributing thousands of food from hundreds of so-called food distribution “sites” across the state-taking advantage of the decision of the American Agriculture Department, for participation for the period of the pandic, for its standard needs-for its standard requirements.
Charged documents suggest that about 300 “food sites” in the state did not have very little or no meals, with the so -called “food vendors” and organizations were fabricated for funds aimed at reimbursement of the cost of feeding children.
FBI officials told Fox News that investigations and resulting tests and prosecution affect the state, and have already touched legislative reforms in Minnesota.
He said that the investigation into fraud is on, and additional allegations are expected, although he did not share more details immediately.
