Overview
- A federal jury in Philadelphia found Bhaskar Savani, 60, Arun Savani, 58, and associate Aleksandra Radomiak, 48, guilty on racketeering and related charges tied to a network of dental practices.
- Prosecutors said the enterprise defrauded Medicaid of more than $30 million by using nominee-owned clinics, submitting claims under another dentist’s NPI when that dentist was abroad, and allowing uncredentialed practitioners to perform procedures.
- The case included H‑1B visa fraud allegations, with foreign workers recruited largely from India and then pressured to return portions of wages and pay fees to the Savani Group.
- Investigators detailed money laundering through corporate accounts and tax offenses, including failures to report about $1.6 million in personal income and $1.1 million in employee income.
- Bhaskar and Arun face statutory maximums of 420 and 415 years, respectively, with sentencing set for July 8 and 9, 2026, after an investigation involving the FBI, HHS‑OIG, IRS‑CI, HSI, DSS, FDA‑OCI, and the Labor Department OIG.
