Charges Announced Against Haitian Nationals In $7 Million SNAP Fraud Scheme

The defendants were arrested on December 17, 2025, and were scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Boston for arraignment. The case remains under investigation, with involvement from federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Prosecutors allege that the defendants used multiple bank accounts to deposit, transfer, and withdraw funds in a manner designed to conceal the source of the proceeds.

“As alleged in the charging documents, these men abused one of government’s most critical safety net programs for their own financial gain. These defendants exchanged SNAP benefits for cash, which they pocketed,” U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Leah B. Foley said during Wednesday’s press conference.
