Jihad backer sentenced in $1.4 million Chicago food stamp fraud

A former grocery store owner already facing three years in prison for aiding a terrorist group got 14 months tacked onto his sentence Friday for swindling the food stamp program out of $1.4 million.

Hatem Fariz, 33, must serve a total of 51 months in federal prison under the sentence handed down by U.S. District Judge Milton I. Shadur.

Fariz, who now lives in Spring Hill, Fla., also was ordered to repay the money he siphoned off by swapping cash for food stamps.

At the same time, Fariz pleaded guilty in a federal court in Tampa to conspiring to provide financial aid to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has been designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.

Fariz received a 37-month sentence on the Florida charge.

Shadur imposed the 51-month sentence, to run concurrent with Fariz's Florida time, saying it was the least he should have gotten if the two cases had been lumped together and placed before one judge for sentencing.
