FBI Adds Fahad Mohamed Nur to Most Wanted Fraudsters List Over Alleged $5 Million Theft

Summary
Fahad Mohamed Nur was added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters List after agents accused him of stealing more than $5 million from Minnesota’s federal child nutrition program during the pandemic.
The FBI says Nur, a businessman and alleged food supplier, obtained the money by submitting fake invoices and then laundering the proceeds; he has been a fugitive since 2022.
A reward of up to $150,000 is being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction, and the bureau believes he has ties to Somalia and may be living there.
The addition comes as the FBI says the list has already helped capture two fugitives within weeks of its launch, part of a wider Trump administration anti-fraud push that officials say has uncovered more than $13 billion.
