Feeding Our Future suspect on FBI's most wanted fraudster list taken into custody at MSP Airport
Federal prosecutors say Ereg claimed to serve 1.4 million meals and received more than $4.2 million before surrendering.
- On Wednesday, Said Abdullahi Ereg, a fugitive featured on the FBI's "Most Wanted Fraudsters" list, peacefully surrendered at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after returning from Kenya.
- Operating Evergreen Grocery and Deli, Ereg allegedly submitted false reimbursement claims to the Federal Child Nutrition Program, claiming to serve over 3,000 meals twice daily between 2020 and 2021.
- Instead of feeding children, Ereg and his wife, Najmo Ahmed, steered funds toward luxury purchases at Burberry, Louis Vuitton, and Canada Goose. Ahmed pleaded guilty and faces sentencing on Monday.
- The FBI offered a $150,000 reward for information on Ereg just five days before he arranged his return. U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen confirmed Ereg will appear in court Thursday morning.
- Charges against over 70 people in the $250 million Feeding Our Future scandal have fueled political debate, with Vice President JD Vance pressing the Justice Department to investigate Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison.
