At least 25 people in Joliet, Illinois who were facing drug or weapons charges obtained Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for fake businesses, and then used the money to make bond to get out of jail
- So far, 15 people have been arrested and charged with offenses ranging from wire fraud to theft, during an investigation dubbed "Operation Triple P."
- Another 10 individuals are wanted for the same crimes.
Joliet PD worked with US Marshals, the Will County State Attorney's office, and Chicago's office of Homeland Security Investigations.
- "These triple-P loans, that they're obtaining fraudulently, they are taking that money out of the businesses in our local area that actually need them," said Acting Special Agent in charge of the Chicago DHS Investigations office, adding that this type of PPP loan fraud has happened across the country.
