Acuzați că au furat 12 milioane de dolari din ajutoarele pentru oameni fără adăpost

Three individuals were charged in Los Angeles for stealing $12 million from federal and state aid for the homeless, using the funds for personal expenses. This marks the second federal fraud arrest in Southern California this week, as the Trump administration intensifies efforts against fraud in government programs. The accused operated non-profit organizations that contracted with government agencies to provide assistance to the homeless. Prosecutors allege they misused funds for personal expenses, accepted bribes, and billed for unprovided services. The HUD Secretary emphasized zero tolerance for taxpayer abuse.
