INVESTIGATES: Globe-trotting fraudsters plead guilty to stealing from Minnesota Medicaid

ST PAUL, Minn. — The globe-trotting co-owners of a Minnesota Medicaid company first exposed in a KARE 11 Investigation have both pleaded guilty to wire fraud for stealing taxpayer money intended to help vulnerable Minnesotans find housing. 

Thursday, Ahmed Mohamed, co-owner of Pristine Health, admitted to his role in a fraud scheme involving Minnesota’s now-defunct Medicaid-funded Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program. Hassan Hussein, Pristine’s other co-owner, had already pleaded guilty.
