Denis Molla told cops his vehicle was torched because it displayed a Trump 2020 flag.
A Minneapolis man told cops heād been the victim of a terrifying, politically motivated attack in the heat of the 2020 presidential race: His camper van was set on fire because it displayed a Trump flag, and the flames had spread to engulf other vehicles and his garage, which itself had been spray-painted with graffiti supporting Joe Biden and Black Lives Matter, just weeks after local police killed George Floyd.
Investigators have now concluded that he staged the whole thing.
Denis Molla, 29, from Brooklyn Center, has been charged with two counts of wire fraud over the incident in September 2020. Molla told KARE 11 heād chased three people out of his yard on the night of the fire, and one of them had dropped a box of matches during the pursuit. When he returned home, he found his camper ablaze.
Messages that said āBiden 2020,ā āBLM,ā and a symbol believed to be associated with Antifa were scrawled across his garage door, which was also being destroyed by the inferno. Molla even claimed heād rescued four sleeping puppies from inside the garage.
But law enforcement say his noble story is bullshit. Molla has been indicted for submitting over $300,000 in bogus insurance claims, and received around $61,000 from his insurance company.
Better still, a fundraiser set up to support Molla after he suffered what the page calls a āhate crimeā led to him receiving over $17,000 in donations, court documents show. āDennis is a father of 2 young children, a hardworking man, devoted man of God and a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump,ā the fundraiser description says. āDennis installed a Trump 2020 flag on his truck and due to the spray paint left on his garage door, āBIDEN 2020 BLMā itās believed he was target for his patriotic support of our president.ā
