(WSVN) - A South Florida woman on the FBI’s most wanted fraudsters list was captured and faces charges.
41-year-old Elaine Escoe was charged last year with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
She is accused of an alleged role in a scheme that fraudulently obtained more than $32 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds.
When a warrant was issued, Escoe failed to appear and fled to Jamaica.
FBI Miami’s West Palm Beach resident agency is investigating.
