Brooklyn Center homeowner admits staging arson, blaming political left, receiving $61K from insurer

A Brooklyn Center man has admitted to staging an arson attack by the political left on his property two years ago, and then using the ruse to cheat his insurance company out of $61,000 and collect thousands more in donations.

Denis V. Molla, 30, pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis to one count of wire fraud in connection with falsely reporting that someone torched his camper in September 2020 because it sported a "Trump 2020" flag and that his garage door was tagged with graffiti reading "Biden 2020," "BLM" and an "antifa" or anti-facist symbol.

The overnight blaze leveled the detached garage, totaled three vehicles and slightly damaged the home in the 6900 block of N. Morgan Avenue shortly before 4 a.m.
