Indian-origin brothers face 835-year jail term in US; had posed with Kash Patel
India Today
Bhaskar and Arun Savani, two brothers of Indian origin in the US, have been convicted of operating fraud schemes. The pair now face a combined prison sentence of more than 800 years. They defrauded Medicaid of $30 million and cheated the H-1B visa programme to bring in foreign workers.
Two Indian-origin brothers from Pennsylvania, who once posted photos of themselves with FBI Chief Kash Patel on social media, have been convicted for carrying out multiple fraud schemes. The prosecutors said Bhaskar and Arun Savani syphoned off millions of dollars from the US healthcare system and exploited immigrants.
While Bhaskar was sentenced to 420 years, Arun got a 415-year sentence. The pair now face a combined 835 years in prison. Along with the Savani brothers, their associate, Aleksandra Ola Radomik, has also been convicted for her role in the fraud case.
The Savani brothers had previously drawn attention for posting photographs with Kash Patel following the latter's appointment as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
According to the US Department of Justice (DOJ), a federal jury found Bhaskar Savani, aged 60, and his brother Arun Savani, aged 58, guilty of running a sprawling criminal enterprise known as the Savani Group. Savani is a dentist by training, said the DOJ.
According to authorities, the pair carried out fraud schemes targeting two US Federal Programmes, Medicaid, and the H-1B visa programme.
Several others — Niranjan Savani, Amen Dhillon, Sunil Phillip, and Susan Malpartida — were also convicted for their involvement with the Savani brothers, according to a report in local news outlet, the Daily Voice.
