Orlando Sentinel : Samim Anghaie, a scientist at the University of Florida, had his office searched by the FBI last week amid a probe that alleges he and his family took “hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegally obtained government funds” from NASA.
Court documents filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tallahassee describe a criminal and civil investigation into “fraudulent” invoices that resulted in funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to Samim Anghaie, 59, his wife, Sousan, 54, and their two adult sons.
Federal officials would not talk about the details of their investigation, which UF reacted to by placing Anghaie on leave with pay. He could not be reached for comment.
