PHOENIX — U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder delivered more resources to fight mortgage fraud in Arizona and across the nation Thursday, saying $8 million will be used to beef up investigation teams this spring.
Holder made the announcement during a break in a daylong meeting of the federal Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, which was created to coordinate efforts to battle fraud by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. The money included $1.7 million for efforts in Arizona, one of the states hardest hit by mortgage crimes.
