Authorities Dismantle Louisiana Medicaid Fraud Web of Islamic Terror Financiers
10th October 2026
Federal and Louisiana state authorities dismantled a network of Hamas financiers in late September who were accused of committing fraud against the state’s Medicaid program totaling more than $224,000 between 2021 and 2025.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced the arrests Wednesday of Abdel Adhami, Iman H. D. Srour, Omar Adhami, Amani Abu Zenah, and Mohammad I. Adhami, residents of St. Tammany Parish. The suspects face state felony charges of government benefits fraud and theft for allegedly underreporting their income between 2021 and 2025 to receive taxpayer-funded benefits.
“While terrorist sympathizers were funding the death of American citizens and countless others across the world, the hard-working men and women of Louisiana were funding their medical care. No matter where you are or who you are, if you steal from the people of Louisiana, you will face Louisiana justice,” Murrill said in a statement shared with the Daily Signal.
