 Five people were charged on Wednesday with trying to bribe a juror in one of the country’s largest COVID-19-related fraud cases with a bag of $120,000 in cash, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI announced Wednesday.

Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, Said Shafii Farah, Abdulkarim Shafii Farah and Ladan Mohamed Ali were each charged with one count of conspiracy to bribe a juror, one count of bribery of a juror and one count of corruptly influencing a juror.

Abdiaziz Shafii Farah was also charged with one count of obstruction of justice.

Assuming the DoJ can sustain the indictment at trial, there's a kind of poetic justice here. Said Shafii Farah got acquitted in the trial anyway, but now may face decades in prison for the bribe attempt.
