A Kenyan national has now been charged in the Feeding Our Future scheme, accused of helping his brother stash money abroad, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota said.
Ahmednaji Maalim Aftin Sheikh, 28, was indicted on Wednesday with conspiracy to commit international money laundering, Acting U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Joseph H. Thompson announced.
Sheikh is accused of helping his brother Abdiaziz Farah send and hide millions of dollars from his Feeding Our Future payments in Kenya. Farah sent some of the money to Sheikh, who then assisted in hiding the funds by investing in Kenyan real estate through fake corporate entities, the press release says.
Below are two examples of pictures of money exchanged between Sheikh and Farah:
Farah was already charged and tried in the Feeding Our Future child nutrition scheme. He was recently sentenced to 28 years in prison for his role.
