Federal prosecutors move to seize 14 properties owned by people associated with allegations of misappropriation of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars
FBI agents raided the Minneapolis office of Feeding Our Future on Jan. 20. The FBI says contractors of the nonprofit stole at least $45 million in taxpayer funds that were intended to help provide meals to needy children.
A senior aide to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey who resigned this week has been caught up in a move by federal prosecutors to seize 14 properties owned by people accused of participating in a massive scheme to misappropriate millions of tax dollars meant to feed needy kids.
Among those listed in the government forfeiture lawsuit is Abdi Nur Salah, who until Thursday worked as a senior aide to Frey and who investigators allege improperly benefited from the scam.
In the document, the federal government accused Salah of being part of a group that used at least $1 million in misappropriated money to buy property in Minneapolis and Brooklyn Park. Nobody has been charged in connection with the case, and Salah and his attorney said they dispute the government's allegations.
