7:00Now PlayingAIR DATE: Feb. 27, 2013: An in-depth, three-month-long investigation by the FOX 9 Investigators uncovers millions of dollars in fraud at a Minneapolis day care center. The owner, who is confronted in this story, is eventually charged with numerous counts of theft by swindle and racketeering. But, Yasmin Ali fled and never showed up for trial.
In February 2013, FOX 9 Investigator Jeff Baillon detailed fraud in the daycare industry. The focus of the story was Yasmin Ali, the owner of Deqo Family Centers. Ali also owned All Nations Home Health Care.
The FBI, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Ramsey County Attorney's Fraud Unit raided a day care to expose a scheme that was costing Minnesota taxpayers millions of dollars.
Ali recruited parents to work at the daycare, while at the same time enrolling their own children. Ali was eventually charged with theft by swindle and racketeering.
A year after the FOX 9 investigation, Ali was arrested and charged with bilking the state out of about $4 million. Ramsey County prosecutors feared Ali was a flight risk, so they requested her bail be set at $1 million.
