Three individuals were convicted on Mar. 9 in Philadelphia for their roles in a racketeering conspiracy involving multiple fraud schemes, according to United States Attorney David Metcalf.
The convictions stem from a complex criminal enterprise known as the Savani Group, which prosecutors said amassed millions of dollars through fraudulent activities affecting government programs and vulnerable individuals. The case highlights ongoing efforts by federal authorities to combat healthcare fraud, visa abuse, and financial crimes that impact public resources.
Dr. Bhaskar Savani of Ambler, Pennsylvania; Arun Savani of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania; and Aleksandra Radomiak (also known as "Ola") of Lansdale, Pennsylvania were found guilty on various charges including conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), healthcare fraud, visa fraud, money laundering, tax fraud, wire fraud, and violating the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The indictment detailed how Bhaskar Savani used his position as a dentist while Arun Savani managed finances for the group. Their schemes included filing false H-1B visa applications to exploit foreign workers—mainly from India—who were forced to return wages to the group; defrauding Medicaid out of more than $30 million using nominee business owners after their dental practices lost Medicaid contracts; submitting false bills under another dentist’s credentials; laundering proceeds through a network of corporate accounts; failing to report personal and payroll income for tax purposes; and implanting unapproved dental devices into patients without consent.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 2026. Bhaskar Savani faces up to 420 years in prison while Arun Savani faces up to 415 years. Radomiak could receive up to 40 years.
"This sprawling investigation and prosecution meant untangling a complex web of fraudulent billing practices and sham medical entities," said U.S. Attorney Metcalf. "Our office worked with numerous state and federal partner agencies to unravel and prove the multiple healthcare fraud schemes at the heart of this operation. It’s gratifying to dismantle this crooked enterprise and hold those responsible to account. Fraud and abuse cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars a year and rob the healthcare system of vital resources." Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva said: "This significant prosecution exemplifies the commitment of the Department of Justice...to protect taxpayer-funded programs from fraudsters...Fraudsters and money launderers like Bhaskar and Arun Savani...will pay a heavy price." FBI Special Agent Wayne A. Jacobs added: "By leveraging our collective expertise...we were able to expose and dismantle a racketeering enterprise built on deception and fraud." Other officials from Health & Human Services OIG, IRS Criminal Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, Diplomatic Security Service, FDA Office of Criminal Investigations, and Department of Labor OIG also commented on the importance of interagency cooperation in bringing about these convictions.
The case was investigated by several federal agencies including the FBI; U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of Inspector General; Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigations; Homeland Security Investigations; U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service; Food & Drug Administration Office of Criminal Investigations; and U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General.
Prosecutors say these convictions send a strong message that those who exploit government programs or vulnerable populations will be held accountable.
