Magomed Suleimanov, the head of the mandatory health insurance fund in Russia's republic of Dagestan, was detained in Makhachkala airport on suspicion of participation in a criminal organization and a $3.1 million fraud, the Russian investigative Committee said Saturday.
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th August, 2018) Magomed Suleimanov, the head of the mandatory health insurance fund in Russia's republic of Dagestan, was detained in Makhachkala airport on suspicion of participation in a criminal organization and a $3.1 million fraud, the Russian investigative Committee said Saturday.
"Using fake documents, submitted by medical institutions, they transferred the fund's money for alleged medical services. According to the investigators, the members of the criminal organization thus stole over 210 million rubles [about $3.
1 million] in 2010-2018," the committee said in a statement.
The criminal organization is suspected of submitting fake information about 600 people, who either died or left Russia, to affiliated health insurance companies and the fund. The files made it appear as if these people were receiving medical care in Dagestan.
The Investigative Committee added that it was being decided whether Suleimanov would be arrested and for how long.
