An international crime boss at the top of an organization known for dismembering rivals with chainsaws is facing federal charges on a rather more mundane allegation: applying for, and receiving, a COVID-19 bailout prosecutors say he wasn’t entitled to.
The charge against Miljanić stems from an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan application he submitted in March 2020, states an affidavit attached to the new complaint.
Miljanić claimed that MDP Rebar was bringing in more than $2 million in annual revenues. But the feds had Miljanić’s phones tapped, and subpoenaed his bank records, and say it was all a front. “Based on my review of the MDP Rebar accounts, MDP Rebar does not appear to have paid any expenses that would ordinarily be associated with a rebar company,” FBI Task Force Officer William Dionne states in the affidavit. About $1.7 million of the funds were disbursed to Miljanić and his wife, daughter, and two sons, $1.
But MDP Rebar’s bank records didn’t reflect any payments to the listed supply companies. Instead, the affidavit says, the funds went to Miljanić and his wife, who used a portion of the money to pay off $85,000 in American Express bills.a letter to the court last month asking for leniency
