(Minneapolis, MN) -- The first trial in the Feeding Our Future pandemic fraud case is set to start today in Minneapolis.
Jury selection was completed last week and opening statements are expected today. Seven defendants are charged with offenses including wire fraud and money laundering. They all had ties to a Minnesota business that enrolled in federal meal programs to feed needy children in April 2020. The defendants are accused of receiving more than $40 million dollars in federal reimbursements for claiming to serve over 18 million meals to children across Minnesota.
The trial could last up to six weeks.
