Minnesota fraud suspect lands on FBI's most wanted fraudsters list for $4.2 million scam

The FBI announced Thursday the launch of its Most Wanted Fraudsters list, which is dedicated to publicly identifying individuals charged in major fraud cases. Among those featured is Said Abdullahi Ereg, a former south Minneapolis grocery and deli owner accused of defrauding a federal child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between April 2020 and April 2021, prosecutors allege the business falsely claimed to have served more than 1.4 million meals to children and received more than $4.2 million in payments. Investigators allege Ereg used much of the money to support his family's lavish lifestyle and transferred funds to foreign accounts controlled by overseas companies.
