Illinois brothers indicted for $293M Medicare, Medicaid fraud via fake COVID tests.
Two Illinois brothers, Minhaj Feroz Muhammad, 37, and Sufyan Feroze, 35, were indicted on federal charges for allegedly defrauding Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers of over $293 million by submitting false claims for unperformed COVID-19 tests.
They owned or controlled four labs in Illinois and California, using straw owners, and collected about $65 million in reimbursements.
Authorities allege they laundered funds to buy luxury assets, including overseas real estate, gold, watches, and vehicles.
Each faces up to 10 years per fraud count and 20 years on money laundering charges, with Feroze facing an additional 10 years.
The case is part of the Justice Department’s Health Care Fraud Strike Force, which has charged over 5,800 defendants since 2007.
