‘This is the stuff that happens in mob movies’
A wrinkle suddenly has appeared in a federal case in Minnesota in which the federal government alleges seven defendants stole millions of dollars of COVID aid funds – intended for the federal Child Nutrition Program through the Feeding Our Future charity — and bought cars, homes and vacations.
Delivered to the home of one juror hearing evidence was a bag containing $120,000 in cash.
The result was that all seven of the defendants were re-arrested, the courthouse where the trial was taking place was locked down, and more.
A report in the Post-Millennial explains that the seven are “part of a larger case that has seen 70 charged with stealing a total of $250 million in COVID aid.”
“They allegedly delivered few, if any, meals,” the report said.
