A criminal group is exposed in the United States of America, whose members are immigrants from the countries of the post -Soviet space. So, according to the Associated Press information agency provided by the Associated Press, the main activities of the group were fraud with medical insurance. According to law enforcement agencies, the leadership of the group turned out to be forty -six -year -old “thief in law” by Armenian — Armen Ghazaryan, to date in California. He was in custody at this time, and the court refused the request for exemption on bail.
Criminals are suspected of torture to deceive the Medicare Road Fund (medical insurance) for the amount equal to one hundred and sixty three million dollars. In order to receive insurance payments, scammers registered a network of “virtual” medical institutions, where it seems to be a survey and treatment of patients. Previously, in most of these cases, scammers simply bribed doctors from real medical institutions.
It is worth noting that the group cannot be attributed to «small» fraudulent gangs. In this case, the charges were brought by seventy -three participants. Detention operations took place in Los Angeles, New York, as well as the states of Georgia, Ohio and New Mexico. The leaders of the group of investigators also recognized thirty four -year -old David Mirzoyan and thirty -five -year -old Robert Terjanyan.
The indictment says that members of the fraudulent group were participants in other crimes: in falsification of Viagra, trading stolen credit cards and smuggled cigarettes.
In conclusion, we note that according to the American authorities, the case regarding fraudsters of Kazaryan is the largest in the field of fraud with medical insurance.
