Excerpt: A former resident of Vernon was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury for using a fake pita company to fraudulently obtain $3 million, including $400,000 from the state of Connecticut. Moshen Youssef, supposed owner of Amoun Pita of South Windsor, was indicted on 14 counts. Two of the charges related to obtaining $400,000 from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s Small Business Express program.
