BREAKING: Another Feeding Our Future–linked fraud case hits Minnesota — the 77th defendant charged A recent development in the Feeding Our Future scandal has led to the charging of Ousman Camara, a 33-year-old man accused of operating a massive fraud scheme through his nonprofit organization, Feed My People.
Camara allegedly claimed to be feeding 1,000 children per day, but investigators found that the actual number was significantly lower, and he was pocketing the extra funds.
According to court documents, Camara submitted false claims to the state and federal government, inflating the number of meals served and misrepresenting the scope of his organization’s operations.
He allegedly used the stolen funds to purchase luxury items, including a Mercedes-Benz and a Rolex watch.
The Feeding Our Future scandal has already led to the charging of 76 defendants, who are accused of stealing tens of millions of dollars in federal funds meant for feeding low-income children.
The scandal has raised questions about the oversight and regulation of nonprofit organizations in Minnesota.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has faced criticism for his administration’s handling of the scandal, with some lawmakers calling for increased oversight and accountability measures.
“This is a complex issue, and we need to make sure that our systems are in place to prevent this kind of abuse,” Governor Walz said in a statement.
The investigation into the Feeding Our Future scandal is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
