明尼苏达州总检察长医疗补助欺诈管制组与联邦执法部门10月29日对双子城地区的两家自闭症服务机构执行了搜查令,分别是位于圣路易斯公园市的Iska公司和位于埃迪纳市的Bright Horizon治疗中心。明尼苏达州卫生与公众服务部和联邦调查局也参与了此次搜查行动。
总检察长基思·埃里森表示,两家机构均提供自闭症服务和其他由医疗补助资助的服务,此次行动是持续打击欺诈、追究责任的努力的一部分。同一天,明尼阿波利斯市的早期投票也创下纪录,截至10月28日营业结束,市选举部门已接受52661张提前选票,超过2018年非总统大选创下的52313张纪录。
执法部门尚未公布此次搜查是否会提出刑事指控,调查仍在进行中。
Law Enforcement Searches Two Autism Services Providers in the Twin Cities on Oct. 29 in Medicaid Fraud Investigation
The Minnesota Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and federal law enforcement executed search warrants on Oct. 29 at two autism services providers in the Twin Cities: Iska, Inc. in St. Louis Park and Bright Horizon Therapy Center in Edina. The Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI also took part in the searches.
Attorney General Keith Ellison said both organizations provide autism services and other Medicaid-funded services, and that the action is part of ongoing efforts to crack down on fraud and hold wrongdoers accountable. Also on Oct. 29, early voting in Minneapolis set a record: by the close of business on Oct. 28, the city elections office had accepted 52,661 early ballots, surpassing the 2018 non-presidential election record of 52,313.
Law enforcement has not announced whether the searches will lead to criminal charges, and the investigation is ongoing.
