Two Pakistani nationals were indicted on Thursday for their roles in defrauding Medicare in a scheme conducted in Chicago, Illinois. The duo allegedly regularly billed “Medicare and private insurers” in excess of $10 million for “nonexistent healthcare services,” according to the Department of Justice.
Kashif Iqbal and Burhan Mirza, and several other unnamed participants, “used nominee-owned laboratories and durable medical equipment providers to submit fraudulent claims to Medicare and private healthcare benefit programs for items and services not rendered. Mirza illegally obtained private identification information of individuals and providers as part of the fraud. He then used this data to file bogus claims and receive payment, according to the Justice Department. Meanwhile, Iqbal was “associated with a number of durable medical equipment providers that submitted fraudulent claims to insurers.”
Mirza resided in Pakistan during these fraudulent operations while Iqbal lived in Texas and laundered money “obtained through the scheme” to Pakistan, according to the Justice Department.
“The indictment charges Mirza, 31, with 12 counts of healthcare fraud and five counts of money laundering,” read a release by the Department of Justice. “Iqbal, 48, is charged with 12 counts of healthcare fraud, six counts of money laundering, and one count of making a false statement to U.S. law enforcement. Arraignments in federal court in Chicago have not yet been scheduled.”

We needed them in the country to do jobs Americans won’t do. /spit
“””” Mirza illegally obtained private identification information of individuals and providers as part of the fraud.”””
So the illegal alien fraudsters can get IDs of individuals, but the millions of GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES cannot find how many illegal aliens are in the USA!!!!!
Wow! Can you feel it? That warm fuzzy we all get from embracing diversity? Isn’t it wonderful! /s
Does Yogi have a muslim cuz?
Indeed propaganda stories are covering up of the facts and somehow democrats seem to own them.
Headline doesn’t mention which state.
Go figure.
“but the millions of GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES”
President Trump’s poll ratings have tanked recently for any number of reasons depending on what individuals rank as the most important, however dumping another 500,000 worthless gummit employees would help.
First line says it happened in Chicago.
It wasn’t in the headline because a lot of print news consumers don’t read past the headline.
And, the indictments will be tossed by a judge who thinks the indictments are racist because they are from Pakistan, not because they broke the law, in 3, 2, . . .
Not to worry Judge Boasberg will fix it as soon as he hears about it.
We need to just stop immigration until we get a better system that doesn’t allow people from 3rd world hell holes to invade America . Maybe just allow Europeans to immigrate for awhile
I’ve said it before, criminals who sell crack and rob banks are amateurs compared to the Welfare scammers. You can make $10 million without blinking.
FTA---Iqbal was “associated with a number of durable medical equipment providers that submitted fraudulent claims to insurers.” Mirza resided in Pakistan during these fraudulent operations while Iqbal lived in Texas and laundered money “obtained through the scheme” to Pakistan, according to the Justice Department.
“The indictment charges Mirza, 31, with 12 counts of healthcare fraud and five counts of money laundering,” read a release by the Department of Justice. “Iqbal, 48, is charged with 12 counts of healthcare fraud, six counts of money laundering, and one count of making a false statement to U.S. law enforcement. Arraignments in federal court in Chicago have not yet been scheduled.”
How much did Brandon Johnson and Pritzker get as kick-backs to look the other way?
Perhaps the DoJ should sue the banks involved in this alleged fraud and the alleged Somali frauds.
Epstein’s alleged victims sued Epstein’s bank and collected big bucks.
I’m sure of that fact
The Democrats have mastered fraud tourism.
FTA-—Mirza resided in Pakistan amid fraudulent operations while partner in crime Iqbal
lived in Texas and laundered stolen US tax dollars to Pakistan, according to our DoJ.
Is Israel associated with duals who might submit fraudulent claims?
Healthcare fraud is a money-maker. And money laundering is a cinch for Israelis.
Did Israeli duals make false statements to US law enforcement?
Did Israelis invent labs and medical equipment providers to submit fraudulent claims to Medicare and private healthcare benefit programs for items and services not rendered?
Did Israelis illegally obtain private id information of individuals and providers as part of a fraud?
Did Israelis use this data to file bogus claims and receive stolen tax dollars?
Oops-——now they’ll have to kill me.......chuckle.
