A former Loretto Hospital executive, Anosh Ahmed, is a fugitive in a $300 million fraud case. Ahmed, who was the hospital’s former CFO and COO, is accused of taking part in a scheme to defraud the federal government out of nearly $900 million via fake COVID-19 testing.
Fraud Case Details
Prosecutors allege that Ahmed used personal data from Loretto’s patients as part of the scheme. He has been fighting extradition since being taken into custody in Serbia.
Ahmed’s attempt to have charges against him dropped was denied by Judge Sharon Coleman. The judge ruled that Ahmed is a fugitive and should not be able to benefit from a favorable ruling until he appears before the court.

Ahmed is also facing charges in another case, where prosecutors allege he and his friend and business partner, Sameer Suhail, worked together to embezzle $15 million from Loretto Hospital.
