Kash Patel warns the days of Washington ‘turning a blind eye to fraud are over’
The new Department of Justice Team tackling America’s “Most Wanted Fraudsters” has made its first arrest and it’s a big one.
Said Abdullahi Ereg has been arrested after turning himself in, after being wanted on federal charges since 2024.
According FBI chief Kash Patel, “Ereg allegedly stole over $4 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program in Minneapolis during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2021. He allegedly falsely claimed to have served meals to children in need, claiming fake reimbursements from the government, then laundered the money through foreign accounts to fund a lavish lifestyle.”
He’s facing charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.
The White House Taks Force to Eliminate Fraud just released its “most wanted” list a week ago.
