A 28-year-old Kenyan was indicted in Minneapolis, USA in a money laundering scheme probe.

Ahmednaji Maalim Aftin Sheikh, 28, a resident of Kenya was indicted with Conspiracy to Commit International Money Laundering for his role in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.

Sheikh is the younger brother of Abdiaziz Farah who siphoned over $8 million through fraud schemes, much of it funneled directly to Sheikh in Kenya.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the brothers frequently exchanged text messages about the stolen money, sometimes attaching photos of stacks of cash.

In one exchange, Farah told Sheikh:

Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson said Sheikh is the 74th defendant charged in this scheme, the largest Covid fraud scheme in the country.

“I share the outrage of my fellow Minnesotans at seeing money meant to feed hungry children converted into fortunes half a world away,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson.

“Sheikh’s indictment shows yet again what we are up against.

It is another window into the many fraud schemes that have seeped into every corner of our state.

But we cannot shrink from confronting this crisis.

We must come together as Minnesotans and demand that the frauds stop now.

We must protect the future of our children and our state.”
