A Minneapolis woman has pleaded guilty to laundering more than $1 million in federal funds she stole as part of the sprawling Feeding Our Future fraud scheme that exploited a pandemic-era child nutrition program, federal prosecutors said.

Najmo Ahmed, 35, admitted Wednesday that she falsified records and routed illicit proceeds through her personal bank accounts while helping operate Evergreen Grocery and Deli in Minneapolis with her husband, according to the Justice Department. Together, they stole millions of dollars in federal funding through the scheme, prosecutors said.
