# Retsel Real Estate *Organization named in a December 18, 2025 Minnesota Attorney General announcement of Housing Stabilization Services indictments.* **Retsel Real Estate** is an organization named in the second of two 2025 announcements by the [[Minnesota Attorney General]] of indictments connected to [[Housing Stabilization Services]] (HSS). The Attorney General made both announcements with federal law enforcement.[^1][^2] The December 18, 2025 announcement named Retsel Real Estate with four other entities and also reported one guilty plea.[^2] The record cited here supports the announcements and their charging posture: complaint-level allegations. It does not establish a conviction, plea, or civil finding against Retsel Real Estate or any of its principals.[^2] It also carries no docket number, court, or later procedural status for the matters. ## Who Retsel Real Estate is one of five entities listed in the Attorney General's December 18, 2025 HSS announcement. The others were [[Pristine Health]], [[SafeLodgings]], [[Chozen Runner]] and [[Star Autism Center]].[^2] The record does not name the entity's principals or owners. It also does not describe its business or address beyond the name. ## What The September and December 2025 announcements concerned HSS indictments. The Attorney General's Office brought them together with federal law enforcement.[^1][^2] The project's validated Dakota County matrix classifies both announcements as complaint-allegations, with one guilty plea.[^1][^2] The record does not say which defendant entered the plea. It also does not state the charges, statutes, or dollar amounts alleged against Retsel Real Estate. ## When - September 18, 2025: the Minnesota Attorney General and federal law enforcement announced HSS indictments against principals of [[Leo Human Services]], [[Liberty Plus]], [[Brilliant Minds Services]] and [[Faladcare]].[^1] - December 18, 2025: the Attorney General announced further HSS indictments. These named Pristine Health, SafeLodgings, Chozen Runner, Retsel Real Estate and Star Autism Center, and the announcement reported a guilty plea.[^2] ## How many The September 18, 2025 announcement named four entities.[^1] The December 18, 2025 announcement named five entities and reported one guilty plea.[^2] That makes nine entities across the two announcements. The record does not give a count of individual defendants for either announcement. ## In the at-issue record The project's at-issue item AI-Dakota-056 (dated September 18, 2025) sets out the two HSS announcements in sequence. It notes that each was made by the state's Attorney General together with federal law enforcement.[^1][^2] The item anchors that sequence to a later federal action. In March 2026, the White House issued the presidential action *Establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud*.[^3] The record shows the dates and the joint state–federal posture of the announcements. It does not establish the outcome of any charge against Retsel Real Estate. ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota Attorney General's Office, *News release* (Sept. 18, 2025) — announcement, with federal law enforcement, of Housing Stabilization Services indictments against principals of Leo Human Services, Liberty Plus, Brilliant Minds Services and Faladcare; complaint-allegation. https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communications/2025/09/18_HHS.asp [^2]: Minnesota Attorney General's Office, *News release* (Dec. 18, 2025) — announcement of further Housing Stabilization Services indictments naming Pristine Health, SafeLodgings, Chozen Runner, Retsel Real Estate and Star Autism Center, and of one guilty plea; complaint-allegation. https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communications/2025/12/18_HSS.asp [^3]: The White House, *Establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud* (Mar. 2026) — presidential action establishing a federal fraud task force. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/03/establishing-the-task-force-to-eliminate-fraud/
