A man accused of witness tampering in a courtroom hallway pleaded guilty Friday to wire fraud for his role in a scheme that prosecutors said stole $250 million from a federally funded program meant to feed children.
The allegation of witness tampering against Abdinasir Abshir, 32, of Lakeville, surfaced last month in the trial of the alleged ringleader, Aimee Bock, the founder of the now-defunct nonprofit Feeding Our Future, and Salim Said, a former Minneapolis restaurant owner.
