Georgian National Charged for Conspiracy to Launder Proceeds of $1.3 Billion Health Care Fraud Scheme - FINCHANNEL
Prosecutors say the scheme used stolen identities and generated only $6.5 million in payments while moving fraud proceeds overseas.
- On Friday, a federal grand jury in Boston indicted Georgian national Erekle Gugava for allegedly laundering $1.3 billion through a healthcare fraud scheme involving durable medical equipment.
- Prosecutors allege Gugava operated Pennsylvania-based ND Medical Solutions, LLC for five months in 2025, using stolen identities of elderly and disabled Americans to bill Medicare and private insurers for equipment patients never received.
- As part of the scheme, Gugava allegedly facilitated the deposit and transfer of fraud proceeds by opening bank accounts as sole signatory, then moving funds to overseas accounts benefiting the foreign-based criminal organization.
- Charged with one count of money laundering conspiracy, Gugava faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison if convicted, while the Department of Justice has charged 324 defendants in the broader case.
- The indictment follows the creation of the Benefit & Voter Fraud Team in Massachusetts on March 26, 2026, established to combat widespread fraud; officials encourage reporting suspected schemes by calling 1-855-SCAM-MA-1.
