Man indicted in $4 million pandemic fraud case turns himself in, officials say
Summary: A man from Minneapolis named Said Abdullahi Ereg turned himself in to the FBI. He is accused of stealing $4 million from a program meant to feed needy kids during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ereg ran a deli and worked with a group called Feeding Our Future, which is tied to a massive $250 million fraud scheme. After living overseas, he surrendered at the airport. He is the first person on the government's new "Most Wanted Fraudster" list to be arrested. His wife also pleaded guilty to money laundering last year.
