A fugitive accused of masterminding a $3.7 billion (£2.79 billion) Medicare fraud scheme — one of the largest healthcare scams ever alleged in the United States — has been brought back to America to face justice after his capture in Turkey.
Ibrahim Khaldoon Hilmi had remained beyond the reach of US authorities for more than a year after allegedly fleeing abroad. His return marks a significant development in a case centred on claims that billions of dollars intended for healthcare were fraudulently diverted from a taxpayer-funded programme.
