A man living in Florida has been stripped of his United States citizenship after being convicted in a multi-million dollar Covid-19 fraud case, according to a federal court ruling.

The case involves about $3.8 million in fraudulent claims connected to government aid programmes introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic.
