Two MN Brothers Plead Guilty in Feeding Our Future Fraud Scandal
Minneapolis, MN (KROC-AM News) - Two brothers, who were among the dozens of people charged in connection with the Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, have entered guilty pleas to federal charges.
The plea agreements announced by the US Attorney's Office for Minnesota involve 38-year-old Abdulkadir Nur Salah of Columbia Heights and 37-year-old Abdi Nur Salah of St. Paul. The pair, along with three others charged with being involved in the $250 million fraud scheme, were scheduled to stand trial next week.

According to court documents, Abdulkadir Nur Salah was a co-owner and operator of Safari Restaurant, which received more than $16 million in fraudulent reimbursements through the Federal Child Nutrition Program. The documents indicate Abdi Nur Salah registered a nonprofit entity to fraudulently obtain federal funding by claiming to provide free meals to children at sites throughout Minnesota. He is also identified as a former Senior Policy Aide to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
Under the terms of their plea agreements, both men agreed that assets and funds derived from the fraud scheme are subject to forfeiture to the federal government. Between the two of them, that covers bank accounts containing more than $1.5 million along with several properties.
Both men admitted to federal wire fraud charges in exchange for the dismissal of the other charges against them. Their sentencing hearings have yet to be scheduled.
