Kaled Mohammad Sentenced to 13 Months in Prison for Wire Fraud in Indiana
Kaled Mohammad, 29, of Cicero, Indiana, has been sentenced to 13 months in prison for his role in a wire fraud scheme that defrauded the government out of $127,319.85 in fraudulent SNAP benefits. Mohammad pleaded guilty to two felony offenses of wire fraud in connection with the redemption of SNAP benefits at his store, Kay Mart, Inc., in Gary, Indiana.
According to court documents, Mohammad’s scheme involved the fraudulent redemption of SNAP benefits at his store, resulting in a significant loss to the government. The investigation into Mohammad’s activities was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Department of Agriculture.
The case against Mohammad was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Diane Berkowitz. As part of his sentence, Mohammad will also serve one year of supervised release following his release from prison. He was ordered to pay the full amount of restitution, $127,319.85, as part of his sentence.
Wire fraud is a serious crime that can have significant consequences for victims and the community as a whole. Mohammad’s sentence serves as a reminder that those who engage in such activities will be held accountable for their actions.
The case against Mohammad is a prime example of the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies and the need for vigilance in preventing and investigating crimes such as wire fraud.
As the investigation into Mohammad’s activities continues, it is clear that the U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to holding individuals accountable for their actions and protecting the public from those who would seek to defraud them.
