Official documents, court records and multiple interviews suggest the Awan crew may ha ve engaged in government fraud, tax evasion, bank fraud, extortion, bankruptcy fraud and insurance fraud. More alarmingly, money (our tax dollars?) could have been funneled overseas.

Imran's brother, Abid Awan, has hired high-profile attorney James Bacon who specializes in money laundering litigation.

==========================================

Imran friend---Rao Abbas----was paid $85,049 TAX DOLLARS in 2016.

The Daily Caller News foundation interviewed multiple current and former Imran tenants about his odd collection of rent.

Cristal Perpignan said Imran instructed her to pay the rent to Imran’s friend, Rao Abbas, a US govt employee, who lived in the basement of the home she occupied.

Abbas was on the House payroll as an IT worker but Perpignan said the tax-paid Abbas spent his days at home in the basement.

==========================================

Soon after Imran began working for Wasserman Schultz in 2005, his two brothers and two of their wives — plus Rao Abbas and another friend — began appearing as IT staffers on the tax-paid payrolls of other House Democrats. Collectively, the Awan group has been paid $4 million tax dollars (that we know of) since 2009.

Other Hill IT staffers interviewed by TheDCNF said the Awans and their IT friends were often absent from weekly Hill meetings and inter-office email exchanges. The tax-Paid Rao Abbas spent his days at home while cashing US govt paychecks.

One of the Hill staffers said some of the computers the Awans managed for Democrat lawmakers were being used to transfer Congressional data to an off-site server. Some of the Democrat lawmakers were members of key House intl committees.

============================================

Shortly after the criminal probe was revealed in February, Imran abruptly moved out of his longtime home on Hawkshead Drive in Lorton, Va, (one of about 12 homes he owned) and listed it for rent on a website that connects landlords with military families.

One of new tenants — a Marine Corps veteran married to a female Navy Officer — said he found “wireless routers, hard drives that look like they tried to destroy, laptops, [and] a lot of brand new expensive toner.”

“Awan had planned to return in Jan 2018” (yeah, to see how all the family schemes were humming along).
Well at least the bank fraud is a toe in the door.

If the guy hadn’t done the credit union fraud and attempted to wire-transfer the massive amount of cash to Pakistan....he would have just walked out of the country a free guy. That’s the unbelievable part of the story. He was protected to the extent that no one was going after him. On the credit union fraud...they can probably put him into prison for at least three years. I’m guessing a few other charges can get thrown into the pot....maybe up to ten years in prison. At that point, they can ask if he wants a deal and spill info on the whole situation of the past decade.
