Minnesota Man Admits to Attempted Juror Bribery in Major COVID-19 Fraud Case

Abdimajid Mohamed Nur pleads guilty to bribing a juror with $120,000 in cash to sway verdict in federal trial.

Nur targeted the youngest juror, believing her to be the only person of color on the panel.
The bribery scheme involved detailed surveillance and social media research on the juror.
Nur recruited Ladan Ali to deliver the bribe, promising her $150,000 for her role.
Ali falsely claimed the juror demanded $500,000, leading Nur to deliver $200,000 in cash.
The juror reported the bribe to authorities, triggering a federal investigation and multiple indictments.
