An investigator said Osman operated the nonprofit Stigma-Free as a “shell company” until it was turned over to a former aide to Mayor Jacob Frey.

Feeding Our Future prosecutors say Minneapolis City Council Member Jamal Osman gave his shell company to others who used it to commit fraud.

Emily Koski was the Minneapolis City Council's only regular swing vote last year, dividing her support evenly between Mayor Jacob Frey's allies and his left-wing critics on the 102 closest votes — but most other council members rarely sided with Frey.

Jury intimidation has been front of mind since defendants in the last Feeding our Future trial offered a bribe to a juror.
