Carlos, Luis and Jose Benitez have been charged by a Florida court for conspiracy to defraud the US Medicare system, conspiracy to commit health care fraud, submitting false claims to Medicare, money laundering and other charges. Thomas Mckenzie of Florida was also charged for his role in the fraud case. Reports indicate that the brothers ran 11 bogus clinics in the US and provided the paperwork to make it appear as if the procedures they were conducting, like HIV treatments, were necessary. In total the brothers defrauded Medicare of US$110 million and laundered the money in major investments in real estate and tourism projects in the DR. The brothers face up to 155 years in jail for the crime.
