A south Minneapolis travel agency owner who is accused of swindling travelers out of airline tickets, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Hennepin County Court.
Ali Mohamud, 35, is charged with six felony counts of theft by swindle.
Mohamud owns Amana Travel Agency, located at 1841 Nicollet Ave. S.
Mohamud is accused of taking approximately $40,000 from at least a dozen travelers by either failing to purchase their airline tickets or canceling them and keeping the cash.
The FBI is also looking into Mohamud. In August, agents searched his business as part of an investigation into Somali men missing from the Twin Cities.
Mohamud has not been arrested or charged in the federal investigation.
You may remember this story.....
Will somebody please get the Somali pirates out of our state? Please!!!
I agree, sooner or later there will be a wave of arrests in Minneapolis. Then they will cry victim.
