In a significant development, two Pakistani nationals, Burhan Mirza and Kashif Iqbal, have been indicted in the United States for their alleged roles in a $10 million healthcare fraud scheme targeting Medicare and private insurance programs. The indictment, announced by the US Department of Justice, accuses the duo of submitting fraudulent claims for medical services and equipment that were never provided, using nominee-owned laboratories and durable medical equipment providers. Mirza, residing in Pakistan, allegedly obtained personal and provider information without consent to support these false insurance claims, while Iqbal, based in Lavon, Texas, is charged with laundering the fraud proceeds and facilitating their transfer to Pakistan (Profit by Pakistan Today, Daily Times, Tribune Home).
