Summary
Khalid Ahmed Satary was arrested overseas after nearly three years on the run and was expected back in the United States Tuesday for an initial federal court appearance.
Prosecutors say Satary helped drive a 2016-2019 scheme that billed Medicare $547 million for medically unnecessary genetic tests using deceptive marketing, kickbacks and bribes.
The 2019 Florida indictment remained pending after Satary allegedly violated pretrial release conditions in 2022, triggering a federal arrest warrant and an international manhunt.
This is the third capture from the FBI's Most Wanted Fraudsters list in five weeks and the 27th high-value overseas transfer since June, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.
