"The FBI busted the first suspect from its new “Most Wanted Fraudsters” list Wednesday, nabbing former Minneapolis deli owner Said Abdullahi Ereg, who is accused of swindling $4.2 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program during the COVID-19
Ereg, 47, surrendered to authorities less than a week after being placed on the FBI’s roster of shame and faces charges of money laundering, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
“Today’s arrest is historic – the first ever arrest of a subject on our Most Wanted Fraudsters List released last week with the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.
“Said Abdullahi Ereg, wanted on federal charges since 2024, was taken into custody this afternoon in Minnesota after he allegedly stole over $4 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2021."
