Food stamp theft probe bungled by Agriculture Dept
A lengthy critique alleges the Agriculture Department mishandled a two year food stamp theft investigation. It claims over $1 million in stamps meant for the poor were stolen and sold to grocers, with many leads ignored and agents pulled from field work at key moments. The piece cites confidential memos, jailhouse interviews, and cross state cases, linking suspects to Mafia ties, safecrackers, and corrupt officials while noting only limited convictions.
