News 8000
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Federal fraud charges were unsealed Wednesday against a Minnesota daycare owner who prosecutors allege tried to flee the country just two days after shutting the daycare center down.
Federal prosecutors said Future Leaders Early Learning, a site sponsored by Feeding Our Future, pretended to feed children during the pandemic, but pocketed much of the money instead.
Fahima Mahamud, the daycare's owner, was charged with one count each of wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States through Minnesota's Child Care Assistance Program, or CCAP, according to a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday. Mahamud is currently under house arrest.
