Feds serve 22 search warrants related to fraud investigations
Minnesota Reformer
Federal agents raided 22 locations in the Twin Cities Tuesday as part of ongoing investigations into fraud in Minnesota’s public programs.
The sites included autism service providers that received payments through Medicaid, according to a statement from the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
“If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today,” Gov. Tim Walz said in a statement. “We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.”
The Reformer first reported in 2024 that the FBI was investigating autism centers, and that some of the defendants in the Feeding Our Future scandal — when dozens of people defrauded a pandemic-era nutrition program to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars — had ties to autism centers.
In September, federal prosecutors charged the first person in the investigation into autism service providers.
