The main defendant in Minnesota’s largest state-prosecuted Medicaid fraud case, Abdirashid Ismail Said, is being sought on an arrest warrant after he failed to show up for a pretrial hearing April 7, court records show.
Said, 50, had been previously convicted of Medicaid fraud before he was charged in 2023 with racketeering, perjury, and eight counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle, according to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who announced the charges in 2023.
