A jury convicted the Savani brothers and an associate of RICO conspiracy, healthcare fraud, money laundering and related counts. Prosecutors tied the convictions to a coordinated scheme that used dental and ancillary businesses to defraud Medicaid and other programs, causing tens of millions in losses.

A federal jury returned guilty verdicts against brothers Bhaskar and Arun Savani and a co-defendant for their roles in a long-running racketeering and healthcare fraud conspiracy that targeted Pennsylvania Medicaid and other public benefit programs. Prosecutors presented evidence that the defendants used a network of dental clinics and related businesses to submit fraudulent claims for unnecessary services and to launder proceeds through shell companies and cash-intensive operations. The government established organized, multi-pronged conduct including patient recruitment stratagems, sham billing practices, and coordinated kickback arrangements that produced proven losses in the tens of millions of dollars. The convictions included RICO conspiracy counts that underscore the enterprise nature of the scheme and permit broader forfeiture and asset recovery remedies. Sentencing will follow convictions and federal authorities signaled continued investigative efforts to identify additional co-conspirators and recover funds. The case demonstrates federal emphasis on dismantling organized abuse of healthcare benefits and using racketeering statutes to address systemic fraud affecting taxpayers and vulnerable patients.
