May 19 (Reuters) – The leader of a Minnesota non-profit group was sentenced to 41 years in prison on Thursday after she was convicted last year of being the ringleader of a $250 million scheme to defraud a federally funded child nutrition program.
Aimee Bock, 45, was charged in 2022 with using her non-profit group Feeding Our Future to enact what the Justice Department said was the largest known fraud against the U.S. government’s relief programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 70 other people have been charged alongside Bock. The fraud has been often invoked by U.S. President Donald Trump, a Republican, as part of his rationale for targeting Minnesota, led by Democrats, for an aggressive surge in arresting and deporting immigrants earlier this year. On the same day as Bock’s sentencing, the U.S. Department of Justice announced new charges against 15 people accused of defrauding Medicaid and other welfare programs in Minnesota of $90 million.
