Attorney General Jeff Sessions, together with the federal authorities, carried out “the largest operation to identify fraudsters in the field of healthcare” and convicted more than 400 people.

Seshns said that the country spent more than $ 1,3 billion on these scammers. In addition, at least 120 suspects were dealing with the largest opioid fraud in history.

FBI acting director Andrew McCabe said that 29 field agencies across the country and more 300 agents were involved in the operation.

“The nation is in crisis,” McCabe said. “Opioid violence destroys lives.”

McCabe said that “once trusted” doctors and pharmacists played an important role in fraud.

“These people caused special damage,” he added.

The researchers found that opioid addicts were regular clients of doctors who prescribed painkillers for them.

“Some doctors wrote more prescriptions than entire hospitals,” McCabe said.

Recall that the former Muscovite and former member of the State Assembly of New York Alec Brook-Krasny turned 13 employees and owners of Brooklyn 3 clinics charged in New York for drug trafficking, money laundering, government insurance fraud Medicare and Medicaidas well as other crimes.

Another clinic, which was opened by a doctor, who previously worked with Dr. Feigin, a Belarusian immigrant, also participated in criminal operations. According to the prosecution, Dr. Feigin deliberately sat some patients on opioids, and then supplied them with oxycodone.
