The Armenian mass media disseminated comprehensive information on Medical Fraud by Armenian criminal network under the protection of Armenian crime boss Armen Kazaraian nicknamed “Pzo”.

A source close to the U.S. Embassy in Armenia told the Aravot daily that Americans are not in a hurry as Armenian mass media actively assisted them in “obtaining evidence” and they only need to verify its reliability. According to the daily, the FBI group, engaged in the investigation of criminal network’s activities, consists of 10 officers.

As reported previously, Armenian white collar criminals and their associates used phantom health care clinics and other means to try to cheat Medicare out of $163 million, the largest fraud by one criminal enterprise in the program’s history. The operation was under the protection of an Armenian crime boss Armen Kazarian.
