Ibrahim Khaldoon Hilmi, who, according to the FBI, was wanted for his alleged involvement in a scheme to defraud Medicare of $3.7 billion.<\/p>\n

Federal authorities said Hilmi fled the United States in May 2025 but was recently arrested in Turkey and subsequently transferred to South Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201cIbrahim Khaldoon Hilmi is charged with one of the biggest Medicare scams in history – allegedly orchestrating a massive $3.7 BILLION scheme to defraud Medicare,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X. “He\u2019s been on the run since May of 2025 – but we got him.”<\/p>\n

Patel called it \u201canother massive win\u201d for the FBI and the Trump administration, while thanking the Turkish authorities, Ambassador Tom Barrack, and the U.S. Department of Justice for their cooperation.<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance also celebrated the arrest on his X account.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis fraudster fled to Turkey in May 2025, but US officials have brought him back to Miami, where he will face justice for his crimes against the American people,\u201d Vance wrote.<\/p>\n

The vice president concluded his message by stating that \u201cIf you steal from the American people, there will be no safe harbor for you anywhere in the world.”<\/p>\n

The investigation was conducted jointly by the FBI\u2019s Miami field office and the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS-OIG).<\/p>\n
