The Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division announced significant fraud enforcement actions across the Southeastern United States, resulting from federal-state partnerships with Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The actions include 17 cases involving over $350 million in potential losses, spanning SNAP benefits, SBA loans, housing benefits, and tax fraud. From July 4 alone, charges totaled over $90 million in losses. The Division also established federal-state anti-fraud task forces in North Carolina, Mississippi, and Florida. New cooperation agreements were signed to enhance fraud enforcement, following a roundtable with 18 U.S. Attorneys Offices, seven state attorneys general, and federal law enforcement partners. The initiative aims to strengthen efforts to recover taxpayer funds and combat fraud through shared intelligence and resources.
