Federal investigators, including the FBI and several other agencies, executed coordinated search warrants at locations in St. Louis Park, Edina and Rochester, with the Minnesota Attorney General's office confirming involvement of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
Federal law-enforcement officials carried out a series of pre-planned raids at several Minnesota businesses on Thursday. Agents were seen at autism centers in St. Louis Park and Edida, while Rochester police assisted the FBI in executing additional search warrants in southern Minnesota.
The operations involved personnel from the FBI, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation division, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection and other federal entities.
"A spokesperson for Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office said more information is expected soon," the office indicated.
The FBI confirmed to reporters that the raids are part of an active investigation, though details of the case have not been disclosed.
