The trial of Abdirashid Ismail Said on state charges regarding $11 million in Medicaid fraud was scheduled to begin tomorrow.
The Mn AG has spoken out about his efforts to bring fraud cases to justice at the state level. A successful state prosecution may have enabled recouping some of the $11 million in fraud, none of which has been recovered.
The presiding judge offered the defendant a conditional bond of $50, 000 under the condition of surrendering his passport. An unconditional bond of $150,000 with no passport surrender, at the objection of the prosecution, was offered as an alternative to the man charged with $11 million in fraud.
A pre-trial hearing was scheduled for this past week. Abdirashid Ismail Said didn't show up. It's assuming, after Said opted for the $150000 bond and keeping his passport, that he skipped the country.
The AG says that he will continue to pursue prosecutions.
This follows a Nov 2025 case regarding state charges, not federal, against another individual with $7 million in Medicaid fraud. A jury in deep, deep blue Hennepin County returned a unanimous guilty verdict after short deliberations.
The judge vacated the unanimous verdict.
The AG says that he will pursue an appeal.
Impeachment hearings for the 2024 DNC nominee for VP and his AG are scheduled to begin on Wed.
