Along with immigrants from Armenia, headed by Armen Kazarian “Pzo”, natives of Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Russia were also in the list of suspects in a major health insurance scam.

In a group of swindlers, operating in New Mexico, along with two Russian citizens, was a guy from Kazakhstan, as well as 22-year-old Ukrainian Igor O.

U.S. authorities have already announced criminal charges against 73 people accused of organizing a large-scale fraud with medical insurance, identity theft, credit card fraud, contraband cigarettes trade and false prescriptions.

Beginning in 2000, the suspects opened 118 fake medical clinics in 25 states and filed $ 163 million Medicare claims, writes Kommersant.

Komsomolskaya Pravda writes that, Ukraine agreed to clarify the fate of Igor O. As it turned out he is a 22-year-old student of the Kharkov Medical Institute. “KP” was able to contact his mother Natalia, but she refused to talk about her son’s involvement in the scam. Moreover, the woman laughed and said that Igor is now ... in school!

- I cannot give you his mobile, - said the woman told Komsomolskaya Pravda. - Because I do not know who you are!

Neighbors claimed to have seen him a week ago. Nevertheless, there is reason to believe that his name was not voiced by a coincidence, especially since the pictures match.

Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs explained to “KP” that if the guy is involved in the FBI investigation he may face travel restrictions, but it is quite possible that scammers were operating under the name of the Ukrainian - two years ago, Igor O. visited the U.S., where he could have left personal data which scammers could have used.

Note that, federal prosecutor Prete Bharara said at a press conference in New York that the facts uncovered during the investigation could be the basis for a great movie script, but it’s not a movie. This is the reality we face.
