More Massive Muslim Fraud, This Time In Sweden
We have already learned about the one billion dollars that Somali Muslims in Minnesota stole from Medicaid and social service programs, through various elaborate schemes and scams, in one of the largest welfare fraud cases in American history. They enriched themselves with housing-assistance fraud, pandemic child-nutrition fraud, and millions of dollars in false billing for autism therapy. Much of that money was sent through hawalas, an informal method of money transfer, to Somalia, where the al-Qaeda-linked terrorists of al-Shabaab took a large cut. The taxpayers of Minnesota have thus been unwittingly contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to some of al-Qaeda’s most successful and strongest affiliates.
In Lewiston, Maine, another city with a large Somali population, there have been many welfare fraud schemes uncovered in the last ten years. In 2017, there was the case of Ali Ratib Daham, the owner of a halal grocery who was convicted of federal food stamp and other welfare fraud. He also admitted to money laundering and theft from the state’s MaineCare program. In 2018, “Abdirashid Ahmed, 38, of Lewiston, and Garat Osman, 32, of Auburn,” were convicted of “health care fraud involving the MaineCare program and soliciting and receiving health care kickbacks from May 2015 through December 2017.” In 2021, two Somalis in Maine defrauded an insurance provider for poor people of more than $2.4 million.
And these Muslim fraudsters have been busy in California, in Texas, in Florida, in New Jersey and New York. A few samples of their activity in California can be found here:
Four residents of Sutter County, California were sentenced to prison today for their roles in a $14 million unemployment and disability benefits fraud scheme based out of Yuba City and Live Oak, California, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
United States District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. sentenced Mohammad Adnan Khan, 35, of Live Oak, to nine years in prison; Iqila Begum Khan, 32, of Live Oak, to five years in prison; and Mohammad Shahbaz Khan, 50, of Yuba City, to seven years and three months in prison and a $50,000 fine. Each was also ordered to serve a term of three years of supervised release following the service of their prison terms. A hearing will be held November 5, 2015 to determine the amount of restitution owed to the California Employment Development Department. Parole has been abolished in the federal system, and each defendant will be required to serve at least 85 percent of the prison time imposed. A fourth defendant, Mohammad Nawaz Khan, 60, is scheduled to be sentenced on October 1, 2015.
According to court documents, the Khans sold fake paystubs to other people in the community and used the companies they controlled to report false wages for the individuals who purchased those paystubs. At times the Khans instructed the purchasers how to use the fake paystubs to fraudulently claim unemployment and disability benefits. The Khans set up a storefront in Yuba City and sold the fraudulent paystubs on a walk-in basis. Purchasers found out about the opportunity to commit fraud with the Khans in a number of ways. Some purchasers approached the Khans looking for work and were told to commit fraud instead. Others learned of the fraud at public places in the community, like the grocery store.
And there are many more such cases, as in Minneapolis and Lewiston, of Muslim fraudsters finding ways to make huge sums, from Medicaid fraud, from Unemployment Insurance fraud, from Food Assistance fraud, from Social Security fraud.
Collectively, prosecutors estimate taxpayers have lost billions.
Now another case of massive Muslim fraud has just been discovered far from the United States, in once law-abiding and relatively crime-free Sweden. More on this fraud in what the Swedes call the “elongated country” (det avlånga landet) can be found here:
Taxpayer-funded Swedish schools tied to Islamist extremist welfare fraud – report
Jerusalem Post, November
Over a billion Swedish kronor, or more than $100 million, in taxpayer-backed funds intended to support preschools and schools in Sweden have been siphoned off through an Islamist-affiliated network engaged in welfare fraud, an investigation by the Swedish newspaper Expressen revealed last Wednesday.
This came after police raided an apartment in Gavle, north of Stockholm, where several individuals who were connected to radical and violent Islamist extremism were staying.
In particular, police were searching for Rabie Karam, who is “one of the main actors” in a network of independent Swedish schools linked to recruiting and spreading radical Islam, Expressen noted.
Karam was convicted in 2024 and is wanted in order to serve an eight-month prison sentence, the outlet stated.
The outlet attempted to contact Karam, but he declined an interview. However, he clarified that he is currently in Egypt, and claims to be too sick to return to Sweden, while denying any wrongdoing.
“I’m sitting here in Egypt. I can’t do anything,” he said.
He’d love to return to answer in person this calumny about him but, alas, he’s just too sick to travel. Get well, Mr. Karam, and come back to Stockholm to defend yourself. Swedish prosecutors are standing by.
Imam Abo Raad, based out of Galve, was identified by the outlet as one of the leaders in the Salafist network behind the Swedish schools. Raad had been taken into custody by the Swedish Security Service in Spring 2019 when they deemed him to be posing a threat to national security.
The Swedish government later decided that he should be deported due to his threat level, but that conditions in his home country of Iraq meant that this could not happen. He later left Sweden, and the security service assesses that he will not return to Sweden, the outlet added.
Of course, Imam Raad won’t return; he knows the Swedish authorities are intending to charge him with taking part in the Swedish schools fraud. Besides, there is no real threat to him from returning to Iraq. If he is a Sunni, he will go to the Sunni-populated areas of Iraq; if he is Shi’a, he’ll go to the Shia areas. His original claim to avoid deportation — that he “faced persecution” in Iraq — does not hold up.
Had enough? Yes, of course you have. I could make your eyes glaze over by posting several hundred other examples of Muslim fraudsters, from sunny California to snowy Sweden, taking advantage of the Infidel taxpayers who lose billions each year in what might be described as the exacting, by Muslim crooks, of a proleptic jizyah.
