Assistant AG for fraud enforcement reveals more about ongoing investigations in Minnesota

Colin McDonald, the assistant attorney general for the National Fraud Enforcement Division, spoke with Liz Collin about the ongoing efforts for accountability and the fight against fraud in Minnesota and beyond.

The National Fraud Enforcement Division has only been up and running for a little more than 200 days. However, McDonald explained that, “in the last about 115 days, there's been around 990 months of cumulative sentences handed out to 13 fraudsters in Minnesota from cases that the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Fraud Division have been working on for some time."

Collin asked the question that so many people in the Alpha News audience have been asking: will elected officials ever be held accountable?

McDonald explained that the Fraud Enforcement Division has been "building our apparatus of fraud prosecutors and agents to ensure that we are bringing accountability to the full field of culpable criminal actors there in Minnesota."
