Bhaskar Savani and Arun Savani from Pennsylvania have been convicted in a major criminal conspiracy case. Prosecutors said their network, known as the Savani Group, ran multiple illegal schemes involving H-1B visa fraud, healthcare scams, tax evasion and money laundering.
Bhaskar Savani worked as a dentist and operated several dental businesses. Authorities say these clinics were central to the healthcare fraud. When some practices lost Medicaid contracts, the group reportedly used nominee owners to obtain new contracts and continue billing.
Investigators said the scheme defrauded US Medicaid of more than 30 million dollars. Officials also found evidence of proxy billing using another dentist’s identification number. According to prosecutors, the dentist whose number was used was not even in the United States at that time.
The case also involves alleged misuse of the H-1B visa program. Prosecutors said the Savani Group filed fraudulent visa petitions for Indian workers. These employees reportedly became dependent on the company and paid fees connected to their employment.
Authorities further said the brothers laundered money through a network of corporate accounts. Investigators claim they did not pay taxes on millions of dollars earned through the schemes. The financial transactions were designed to hide the origin of the funds.
Another serious allegation involved dental implants used in patients. Prosecutors said some implants were not approved for human use. Authorities claim these were used without the knowledge or consent of patients.
The brothers had earlier attracted attention on social media. They had posted photos with Kash Patel and congratulated him on his appointment as FBI director. Those posts resurfaced after news of their conviction became public.
The US Department of Justice found the Savani brothers guilty on 42 counts. Their sentencing is scheduled for July 2026. Bhaskar Savani, aged 60, faces up to 420 years in prison, while Arun Savani, 58, could face up to 415 years.
An associate named Aleksandra Radomiak was also convicted in the case. She could face a prison sentence of up to 40 years. Authorities say the case highlights the scale of financial and immigration related fraud uncovered during the investigation.
