Summary
$36 million in Minnesota taxpayer funds went to at least two dozen group homes tied to a Liberian government official, according to a local news investigation released this week.
The report says the man moved to Africa in 2024 to run Liberia's state-owned port system while still listed as onsite director of three Minnesota homes.
Several of the homes were also linked to neglect reports and investigations into the deaths of residents, widening the case beyond alleged billing fraud.
The findings add to a string of Minnesota fraud scandals and are likely to intensify pressure for state oversight and accountability in care-home funding.
