New name on the FBI's 'Most Wanted Fraudster' list is man who has ties to Somalia

The Department of Justice on Wednesday added a new name to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's "Most Wanted Fraudster" list. 

Fahad Mohamed Nur is wanted for his alleged participation in a fraud scheme that exploited the Federal Child Nutrition Program during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

According to the FBI, Nur stole more than $5 million from the child nutrition program in Minnesota. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen who has ties to Somalia and may currently be living there.

"Under President Trump’s and Vice President Vance’s leadership with the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, the FBI’s historic ‘Most Wanted Fraudsters list’ has already seen tremendous success – with two subjects brought to justice in a matter of weeks, apprehended out of Somalia and the Philippines,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.
