3 Savani Brothers Charged Of Multi-Million Dollar Scamming Of IRS, FDA, INS

FORT WASHINGTON, PA (IANS) – Three brothers running the Savani Group have been charged with operating their dental business as a criminal enterprise for more than 10 years. U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania says the health care scams bilked taxpayers out of millions of dollars.

The defendants were allegedly part of a wide-ranging scheme to defraud Medicaid, US Immigration authorities, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Food and Drug Administration, and to launder the fraud proceeds.

The individuals were charged with operating and participating in a series of dental practices and related companies (the Savani Group) that engaged in visa fraud, health care fraud, wire fraud involving federal tax evasion, and money laundering.

Dentist brothers Bhaskar Savani, 57, and Niranjan Savani, 51, owned and controlled the Savani Group dental practices. The third brother, Arun Savani, 55, owned and managed the Savani Group companies and was responsible for the Group’s financial affairs.

The trio allegedly conspired to recruit foreign workers for US work visas while concealing the workers’ true job titles and responsibilities.

Sunil Philip, 57, who was an outside accountant for the Savani Group, allegedly engaged in a wire fraud scheme to evade federal taxes along with the three brothers.

The Savani brothers, along with two other employees of Savani Group, allegedly executed a scheme to use nominee owners of “on paper” dental practices to obtain and continue to profit from Medicaid contracts after managed care companies terminated the Savani Group dental practices’ Pennsylvania Medicaid contracts.

They also allegedly conspired to place adulterated and misbranded dental devices in US commerce, according to the DOJ.

Vivek Savani, 35, Bharatkumar Parasana, 55, and Hiteshkumar Goyani, 39, and Piyusha Patel, 41, were employed under the H1-B visa program under the pretense of serving in specialty occupations for the Savani Group but performed office support roles for the Group’s dental practices.

Bhaskar, Arun, Niranjan and Sunil Philip made their initial court appearances on January 20 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
