Former Chicago hospital executive Dr. Anosh Ahmed is facing the prospect of being returned to the United States after fleeing to Serbia, according to the report. Federal court records cited in the story show the 42-year-old has been charged in two separate federal indictments involving fraud and embezzlement allegations.
The case centers on accusations that Ahmed was involved in a scheme worth about $15 million. The report says he left the US for Serbia after the allegations surfaced, raising the possibility of extradition as American authorities pursue the charges.
Ahmed had been known as a high-profile healthcare executive in Chicago, and the report portrays a dramatic fall from that status. It also says he left behind his wife and a mansion as the legal pressure mounted.
While the criminal accusations have not been resolved in court, the extradition question could become the next major step in the case. For now, the focus remains on the federal fraud and embezzlement charges and whether Ahmed will be brought back to the US to face them.
