(ABC 6 News) – Another person is admitting rather to their role in the multi-million dollar fraud case connected to Feeding Our Future.

29-year Filsan Hassan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering yesterday at the federal courthouse in Minneapolis.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, 47 people allegedly participated in a $250 million fraud scheme that claimed to use funds for a child nutrition program.

Prosecutors say Hassan created a shell company to receive the more $2.5 million in federal aid from the nonprofit Feeding Our Children.

15 people have now admitted to stealing tax money including four people right here in Rochester. That money was said to help feed kids in need across the country.
