There are people who have gone to prison over thousands in fraud. This is millions in fraud. And yet…
The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office secured a guilty plea Friday from the only defendant involved in the largest Medicaid fraud case in state history who is still in the United States.
Said Awil Ibrahim, 26, of Minneapolis, pleaded guilty on May 1 in Hennepin County District Court to two counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle over $35,000 and agreed to help officials pursue and prosecute his codefendant, Abdirashid Ismail Said, the alleged mastermind of the fraud.
The case, which was charged in 2023, alleges three men fraudulently obtained $11 million through companies purported to provide personal care assistance services using waivers with the Minnesota Department of Human Services. The case has attracted a great deal of notoriety after Said fled the country ahead of his jury trial last month. Another codefendant has never been detained and is believed to have fled the country during the investigation.
In pleading guilty, Ibrahim had a racketeering charge and two additional theft by swindle charges dismissed. He agreed to pay $2.2 million in joint restitution and will be placed on five years supervised probation. His 150-day jail sentence will be stayed as long as he complies with probation and sticks to a payment plan that will be determined at sentencing.
The Minnesota Attorney General is a guy named Keith X. Ellison, an Islamist who used to be affiliated with the Nation of Islam, and was accused of assault by two women.
Enough said.
I have been following the Somali fraud cases in Minnesota for a long time now and the trials were more normative until they became seen as ‘partisan’ at which point Trump Derangement Syndrome makes all this sort of thing easier to stomach.
Some will shrug because the Somali is in theory promising to repay $2.2 million (out of apparently $11 million.)
Is the $2.2 million in restitution actually happening? If he has that much in the way of assets, why is there a payment plan, and why aren’t his assets being seized? If he doesn’t, then this is a farce.
If he doesn’t stick with the payment plan, the worst he gets is half a year in prison.
The fish in Minnesota rots from the head. Always has.
Beyond sickening… the hottest places in he!! should be reserved for attorney-generals who aid & abet such plundering of the public treasury.
Steal 11 M, have to payback Two, which he never will, and get probation?
.
What a deal.
Whatever happened to the idea of treble damages from days of yore? Maybe he can convince his runaway compatriots to send him $33 million. Very unlikely…they’re all liars and thieves.
We cannot expect these heathens to come here and act like Christians !
Our criminal justice system is peopled by criminals.
They protect their own.
Well that sentence will certainly make sure he doesn’t spill the beans on his benefactors, won’t it?
As was the intention.
Also, as low-life islamists like Ellison would’ve done it for his esteemed fellow jihadist, the guaranteeing his silence was icing on the cake.
Criminal Justice… NOT victim justice
“Equal justice for all…”!
HAAA HAA HA Ha Ha You funny!
You just know that law enforcement will go the extra mile to keep catching criminals with sentences like this.
I had wondered why Ellison would leave congress when he seemed to be gaining a good deal of popularity with the left.
Now that we know the shenanigans happening with all the fraud in MN, I suppose he saw greener pastures.
You have to wonder just how much of that Somali fraud money has flowed straight back to Waltz, Ellison, and Ohmar.
I’m betting on millions.
Lottsa benefits for being from a nothing country like Somalia!
By Republicans not doing anything, that are as guilty.
Where did the other $8’ish million go?
Again it’s my and all American’s tax dollars they are ripping off!
If I’m ever arrested in Minnesota I’ll plead innocent by reason of Somali
How many criminals need to get away with millions until the public starts dispensing real justice on the criminals, and those who prosecute/protect them? I don’t know either, but I feel that time is rapidly approaching.
It looks to me as if the public will not be dispensing any justice. It will more likely be provided privately. When government doesn’t do their duty, patriots will.
The shutdown of USAID was a tremendous hit for the DEMOcrats and now their other cash cows are being eliminated so what do they do? “Ok, you PROMISE to repay $2.2 MILLION now and we’ll let you go – as long as WE get the other $8 MILLION”! You know the scum that skipped was ALLOWED to do so and a lot of that money was “transferred” to the DEMOcrats in various ways! We need to set up an Organization similar to the one that Israel used to track down and administer justice to their terrorists!
Minnesota’s Medicaid system meets Somali clan politics—and taxpayers get robbed blind. Importing cultures that glorify piracy into a welfare state isn’t diversity, it’s disaster.
Time to recall these political activist people in the so-called justice system.
