Bhaskar Savani and Arun Savani, two Indian-origin brothers from Pennsylvania, have been convicted of running a multi-state criminal enterprise involving visa fraud, healthcare fraud, and money laundering.
The brothers face over 400 years in jail after filing false H-1B visa applications and defrauding the US' Medicaid program of over $30 million.
They were also involved in money laundering through complex channels of Savani Group corporate entities' bank accounts and carried out dental surgeries without approval from the US federal health agency.
The brothers built a 'complex criminal enterprise' known as the 'Savani Group', which generated millions of dollars through multiple fraud schemes.
Bhaskar Savani, 60, was convicted of several charges, including conspiring to violate the RICO law, visa fraud, healthcare fraud, money laundering, and conspiring to defraud the Internal Revenue Service.
Arun Savani, 58, was convicted of one count of conspiring to violate the RICO law, one count of conspiring to commit visa fraud, one count of visa fraud, one count of conspiring to obstruct justice, and one count of conspiring to commit healthcare fraud.
