Indian-origin brothers Bhaskar, Arun Savani convicted in US fraud schemes worth millions, face over 400 years in prison

Prosecutors said the Savani brothers orchestrated several schemes, including fraud involving false H-1B visa applications, healthcare fraud targeting the Medicaid program, money laundering, and tax evasion. Their associate, Aleksandra Radomiak, 48, was also convicted following the trial.

According to a press release by the US Attorney’s Office, Bhaskar Savani, a dentist, and his brother Arun Savani built what prosecutors described as a “complex criminal enterprise” known as the “Savani Group”, which generated millions of dollars through multiple fraudulent schemes over several years.

Authorities said the visa fraud scheme involved filing fraudulent visa applications to recruit foreign workers, mostly from India, who were allegedly forced to return portions of their wages and fees to the Savani Group.
