A grand jury in Detroit has returned an indictment charging three Michigan residents for their alleged involvement in a scheme to defraud insurance companies by billing them for medication that was never dispensed.
Wansa Nabih Makki, 42, of Dearborn; her brother, Mahmoud Makki, 37, of Dearborn; and her husband Hossam Tanana, 54, of Dearborn, were each charged with multiple health care fraud and money laundering offenses. Wansa Makki was additionally charged with making a false statement to the Internal Revenue Service after she falsely claimed to be a pharmacist in her tax returns.
