Several Miami and West Palm Beach VA Healthcare System workers and the owners of local medical supply companies were indicted in an alleged kickback scheme, according to an article on the Miami Herald website.
The suppliers allegedly took millions of dollars in proceeds while the VA employees received thousands in bribes.
The employees are accused of using government credit cards to order medical and other hospital supplies through corrupt vendors in exchange for cash payments and kickbacks.
In some cases, prosecutors said, the prices of the supplies were “grossly inflated, while in other cases the orders were only partially fulfilled or not fulfilled at all,” the article said.
