Ken Paxton ringed in the new year at a luxury high rise in Dubai. Fugitives accused of stealing $15m from a Chicago hospital were also allegedly there

Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, was in Dubai for New Year’s Eve, according to a report published Monday by The Wall Street Journal. The gathering took place on December 31, 2024, and included his extramarital girlfriend, Tracy Duhon. Two other Americans were also said to be there.

Those two men were Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, according to the court records and people familiar with the matter cited by WSJ. Months before the celebration, they had been indicted in a federal healthcare fraud case. Prosecutors accused them of taking $15 million from a Chicago hospital, where Ahmed had worked as chief financial officer. At the time of the Dubai event, neither man had come back to the United States to address the charges.
