Summary
Ahmed Ghedi received more than five years in prison and Abdihakim Ahmed got four and a half years for helping run a fraudulent Feeding Our Future child nutrition site in the Twin Cities.
Prosecutors said the pair collected $7.3 million in COVID relief funds by falsely claiming they were feeding thousands of children each day, then spent the money on a car, property and kickbacks.
The judge also ordered restitution of $2,862,451 from Ghedi and $2,242,590 from Ahmed, adding to penalties in the widening federal crackdown.
Their sentencing follows the May punishment of Feeding Our Future leader Aimee Bock, who drew nearly 42 years after being convicted of orchestrating a $250 million pandemic fraud scheme.
