The most recent defendant charged in the case–Hoda Abdi (No. 70, in the official numbering)–was in Federal court in Minneapolis this afternoon to file guilty plea No. 18.
I covered her indictment back in February.
Her corner of the scandal involved $3 million and centered around her Burnsville grocery. Her indictment lists at least five co-conspirators, only one of which has been indicted (he also pled guilty).
As for the rest of the case, a major trial will get underway on Monday, April 22, involving eight (8) defendants in the case (Nos. 15 to 22), all unrelated to Abdi. The trial is expected to last a month.
