Attorney General Jeff Jackson joined U.S. Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald and state officials from across the Southeast on Thursday to launch the Southeast Fraud Enforcement Federal-State Partnership to protect taxpayer dollars. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, and representatives from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and other federal agencies also participated.

“This is what a united front looks like. The acceptable level of fraud is zero, and as these fraudsters become more sophisticated, we have to step up our enforcement actions, use new tools, and work across jurisdictions to take them down.” – AG Jackson
