The Minnesota Department of Revenue (MDR) announced last week that two married couples have been charged with a combined 26 felonies after investigators uncovered what authorities describe as a years-long tax fraud scheme.
One of the couples, Ali Farah Egal and Fardous Jama Egal, were each charged with seven counts of filing false or fraudulent individual income tax returns. Meanwhile, Abdirisak Abdirahman Abdulle was charged with 10 counts of filing false or fraudulent income tax returns. His wife, Samsam Gatah, was charged with two counts of the same crime.
Each count carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. All four cases are being charged in Hennepin County.
According to MDR, members of the group were associated with multiple business that were all registered at the same Minneapolis address. Those businesses included Egal Properties LLC, Ruwayda Kitchen, MN Best, and Professional PCA Services LLC.
MDR said the criminal complaints in the case “describe underreporting and nonfiling tax issues for the businesses associated with these individuals and uncovered a network of family‑controlled businesses used to hide personal spending and avoid taxes, with significant income coming from public childcare and nutrition programs.”

Walz knew of all this fraud. I bet he was receiving kick-backs. The same goes for Ilhan Omar.
I'm convinced that the majority of our national debt is due to corruption and fraud from the past ~50 years, and most of it from the Obama and Biden administrations.
OMG , they are all CROOKS
Every single time.
2 down 10,000 to go. In Minnesota that is
Uffda! I bet they even sell lutefisk made from tilapia!
2026 $7.2T government spending for what? SMDH
Easier to steal money than it is to work for money
Why bother.
All these redistribution programs are basically government stealing from one person (taxes) and giving it to someone else (unearned entitlement) usually in the hopes that this demographic will vote a certain way.

The argument of fraud is basically saying, the unearned entitlement is not going to the right and usually unproductive voter we’re trying to buy.
Who cares? We could just as well use that money to fire a giant BBQ. It would accomplish the same in the end. If you give the “right people” this entitlement, in 5 years, will they provide more to the GDP? Will they make better health choices? Will they pose less of a crime risk? No.
Free entitlements (unearned) lead to reinforcement of bad decisions and behaviors, period.
Society does this so that people feel good about themselves. Politicians do it to buy votes. It’s the collective form of giving the meth addict living under the bridge $5 and feeling good about it.
MORE MUSLIM CROOKS!!! OUT!
Derned Amish…

That good Swedish-American stock needs to catch up.
As the decades pass, the political class at all levels, local, county, state and federal appeared to morphed into a criminal class who prey on citizens and taxpayers at their own whim. Such conditions contribute to revolutions being made. It will not be pretty. They are entrenched with corrupt courts, unaccountable bureaucracies and politicians who have no shame, conscience or moral/ethical sense of duty. Bleak times. I never thought I’d see this level of depravity and corruption in my life time. Banana republic indeed.
Some good, solid midwestern names, there.
Every one of these immigrants needs to be deported and never allowed to enter this country again.
According to the Minn Dept of Revenue complaints, Mr. Egal and Mr. Abdulle’s business, Egal Properties LLC, did not file tax returns or report any income. Investigators linked banking records of Egal Properties LLC to all four defendants, and from 2019 through 2024 more than $10 million allegedly went through the Egal Properties LLC bank accounts according to the complaints.
The defendants used the Egal Properties money to purchase over $7 million worth of commercial real estate at three other locations around Minneapolis.
At least 14 businesses have been registered to these individuals or as operating at Egal Properties LLC’s address of 3016/3018 17th Ave. S. in Minneapolis. The Egals or Mr. Abdulle and Ms. Gatah are allegedly associated with 10 of the businesses including Global Learning Childcare Center L.L.C., Professional PCA Services LLC, African Halal & Deli Inc., Ruwayda Kitchen L.L.C., Egal Properties LLC, MN Best, Aaron Child Care Inc., Barwaaqo Kitchen LLC, and Ruwayda Kitchen and Catering LLC.
The complaints describe underreporting and nonfiling tax issues for the businesses associated with these individuals and uncovered a network of family‑controlled businesses used to hide personal spending and avoid taxes, with significant income coming from public childcare and nutrition programs.
According to the complaints, these businesses routinely contracted with each other and moved large sums of money between accounts tied to the defendants. This included using government assistance programs to provide meals at daycares connected to them, then charging well above the contracted amounts and depositing the excess funds into accounts associated with the defendants.
For example, MN Best paid Ruwayda Kitchen L.L.C. over $2 million for children’s meals from 2020 to 2024. Ruwayda Kitchen L.L.C and Ruwayda Kitchen and Catering LLC business accounts were used for significant personal spending. Ruwayda Kitchen’s financial accounts showed only $19,646 in possible food purchases. The complaints allege that some of the food assistance transactions were associated with Feeding Our Future executive director Aimee Bock.
The complaints go on to state that Mr. Abdulle operated Professional PCA Services LLC. After an overpayment of more than $405,000 was assessed by the state, he shut down the business in August 2023 and transferred $351,400 from the business to purchase his personal home. The debt remained unpaid.
Mr. Egal and Mr. Abdulle failed to file tax returns for many of their businesses including Global Child Learning Center L.L.C., Aaron Child Care, and Barwaaqo Kitchen. The complaints allege that businesses failed to file corporate tax returns for multiple periods while all the defendants also failed to claim the financial distributions from the business accounts on their individual income tax returns.
The Egals allegedly owe more than $350,000 in state taxes while Mr. Abdulle and Ms. Gatah owe over $777,000.
Each tax-related felony charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. Defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Somalia runs on corruption. They have no other way of thinking.
Golly. Two more thieving corrupt Somalis ripping of the infidel tax payers. Deport every single one of them.
“Somalia runs on corruption. They have no other way of thinking.”
Exactly. They were pirates with slim pickings. Ships armored up and added defenses. So the pirates came to the USA to ply their trade.
All effing foreigners in Walz’ Minnesomalia. spit.
Arrest, convict and/or deport if possible.
