Minnesota autism centers under investigation for fraud

Update: 2024-12-12

Description

On Thursday morning FBI agents searched the offices of two autism treatment centers — one in downtown Minneapolis and one in St. Cloud — as part of a major investigation into Medicaid fraud.

A judge just unsealed a search warrant in the case and it links some of the defendants in the Feeding our Future child nutrition fraud case to these autism centers.

MPR News correspondent Matt Sepic joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about what we know at this time.
