A 52-year-old Denver resident is facing fraud charges after authorities say he illegally obtained over $700,000 in COVID-19 relief loans and unemployment insurance.

Anthony Zaghab, 52, appeared in federal court Thursday for an arraignment where he was charged with one count of wire fraud, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado.

The charges come after the United States Secret Service investigated Zaghab’s submissions for Economic Injury Disaster Loan and Paycheck Protection Program applications to the Small Business Administration and to an approved lender.

By February 2021, Zaghab allegedly obtained over $660,000 through the applications. He also received over $40,000 in unemployment insurance benefits on behalf of ineligible family members without their knowledge or consent, including his deceased father, according to the release.

Authorities say Zaghab owned and controlled several corporate entities, but during the application process claimed he owned or controlled more through his family members names.

Such instances include applying for a PPP loan in June 2020 for a business called “Anthony Zaghab” and allegedly lying about when the business was established and its monthly payroll, according to the release.

Zaghab applied for four separate PPP loans since the COVID-19 pandemic began. In each of these applications, he allegedly lied about the number of employees, gross revenues, and purported costs of goods sold, according to the release.

A second court date for Zaghab has not been set, according to online court records.
