Dozens of Internet cafes run by Allied Veterans of the World. were searched by federal agents Tuesday, and one of the heads of the non-profit has been arrested.

Jerry Bass, the head of Allied Veterans, was arrested Tuesday in Jacksonville.

His arrest, along with the arrests of several other high-ranking members of the group, is part of a federal gambling, mail fraud and money laundering investigation.

Federal agents executed search warrants at all of Allied Veterans Internet cafes in Florida, which includes 21 in Central Florida and three in the Tampa Bay area.

The investigation started after the Seminole County Sheriff's Office got complaints about Allied Veterans Internet cafes.

The group is a non-profit organization and promoted the cafes as "fundraising centers." But investigators charge Allied Veterans was operating slot machines in violation of state gambling laws, in what's being called a "conspiracy and scheme to defraud."

The search warrant alleges Allied Veterans misrepresented how much money it gave to charity between 2007 and April 2012. The group claims 70 percent of $290 million went to charitable organizations. But federal investigators have only been able to find $6 million, or 2 percent, that went to charity.

They also charge most of the money went to Allied leaders and other companies.

It was not immediately clear how long the Internet cafes stayed closed.
