Romanian citizen arrested on suspicion of stealing more than $5M in COVID relief funds [Breaking]
A Romanian citizen was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy last week, accused of crafting and running a scheme that stole more than $5 million in unemployment insurance benefits during the pandemic, federal prosecutors said.
The government looks to reclaim any assets associated with the alleged crime, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica Schulberg in an interview Friday.San Diego FBI investigators took Sandu into custody Wednesday at the Imperial Beach Border Patrol Station, prosecutors said. The complaint alleges that Sandu figured out a way to defraud the COVID relief system, and he and a conspirator “sent public announcements via social media to a large network of co-conspirators, offering services or meetings to conduct the fraud.”
Sandu’s co-conspirators would then share information with him via Facebook, other online messaging services or by meeting in person to assist him in filing claims, prosecutors said.
