Santiago Villa-Restrepo, who is from Miami and around 30 years old, plead guilty to a Detroit based Medicare Fraud Scheme, alleged to have been responsible for over $5 Million in Medicare Fraud. He faces up to 10 years in Federal Prison for his part in the fraud scheme. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud.

Allegedly, Villa-Restrepo was involved with recruiting medicare recipients to three Detroit based medical clinics, paying bribes to people for their Medicare Account Numbers.

The Detroit Health Clinics would then bill medicare for unneeded tests or even tests that were not preformed.
