Who Are Indian-Origin Brothers, Sentenced to 835 Years in US for H1B Visa, Healthcare Fraud?
The Savani brothers ran a complex scheme involving visa, Medicaid, and tax fraud that siphoned over $30 million, with Bhaskar and Arun sentenced to 420 and 415 years respectively.
- This week, a court convicted two Indian-origin brothers from Pennsylvania, Bhaskar Savani, 60-year-old dentist, and Arun Savani, his brother and the group's business manager, sentencing them to a combined 835-year prison term.
- By targeting the H-1B visa programme and Medicaid, the Savani Group filed fraudulent H-1B applications for foreign workers, many from India, and generated more than $30 million in false Medicaid claims.
- Investigators found specific billing and clinical abuses, including false Medicaid bills using another dentist's NPI, insertion of prototype dental implants labeled 'Not For Human Use' without FDA clearance, and tax fraud involving about $1.6 million and $1.1 million.
- The prosecutions prompted notable public scrutiny after Aleksandra Ola Radomik, associate, was convicted and the Savani brothers appeared with FBI Director Kash Patel on social media.
- Prosecutors say the brothers laundered proceeds through Savani Group corporate bank accounts and continued Medicaid payments after contract terminations, with the DOJ noting Bhaskar as a dentist and Arun as business manager.
