Abdikerm Eidleh, 42, is arrested in Mogadishu, Somalia, in connection with Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future COVID-19 fraud case, according to prosecutors and related reporting. Eidleh was among the original suspects indicted in September 2022 in a case prosecutors describe as the largest COVID-era fraud in the United States’ reported jurisdiction. Multiple outlets report that the arrest follows coordination involving U.S. federal agents and Somali officials, with coverage citing a raid that involved FBI agents and Somali intelligence personnel. The reports characterize Eidleh as a central figure or alleged mastermind within the scheme, but the sources focus on his status as a suspect and the fact of his custody rather than additional proven conduct. The case centers on an alleged $250 million fraud connected to the Feeding Our Future program in Minnesota. The arrest is reported as occurring on Thursday, with prosecutors stating that Eidleh was hiding out in Somalia prior to his detention. The outlets do not provide details on charges beyond the existing indictment referenced in 2022.
