A man who was once honored as an "outstanding refugee" by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and has a startup with funding from a Shark Tank star is now facing Medicaid fraud charges in a case that has links to a sex trafficking case.
Fraud charges filed
What we know:
Salman Ahmed Elmi was charged last week with three counts of aiding and abetting by swindle and five counts of aiding and abetting by false representation.
He made his first court appearance on Monday. Authorities say some of Elmi's co-conspirators at Reva Health in Golden Valley have connections to a sex trafficking ring bust last week.
The backstory: Elmi is accused of billing Medicaid for more than $1 million in services that were not provided or not eligible. Reva Health provided autism services and adult rehabilitative mental health services.
Elmi and the other co-conspirators are accused of falsifying documents to get Medicaid reimbursements. Prosecutors say other co-conspirators directed staff to pay kickbacks to people to use their information for claims.
Big picture view:
The charges state two people involved in the fraud enterprise, former Anoka County prosecutor Andrea Sampson and Frank Devone Reeves, were also involved in a sex trafficking ring that was busted in Hennepin County last week.
Individuals charged in the case face a slew of charges and on Monday authorities said there could be many more victims who suffered as a result of that case.

For those folks whining that Trump’s Presidency is doing nothing, here is the reality.
Under Biden’s Presidency Elmi received an Outstanding Immigrant Award from Minnesota.
Under Trump’s Presidency Minnesota’s Prosecutors are forced to indict Elmi and his co-conspirators.
Golly. An imported black Muslim ripping off the US taxpayers? Nah.....
But don’t dare send him back to the anus that excreted him.
The canucks responded, "Only if the US includes Kalifornikator and six ton of soy beans".
I say that's a good deal, and I talked with Trump a few minutes ago, and he says OK.
WhooooRah, the deal is on, watch FNC at 6.00 PM for all of the details.
