The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced the arrest of four Rockland County brothers accused of trying to systematically defraud the online retail giant Amazon.
The four men—Yoel Abraham, Zishe Abraham, Heshl Abraham, and Shmuel Abraham—were arrested by federal agents on August 19 and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. It is unclear if they have acquired legal representation.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) are calling on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to release injury records for all Amazon fulfillment centers.
Sanders and Omar sent a letter to OSHA last week requesting the federal agency provide Amazon’s injury records for the last three years, saying finding the information “should be quick and easy” because of an OSHA rule that requires businesses to digitally submit data of workplace injuries and illnesses to the agency.
