Sisters accused of fraud in Michigan plead guilty
DETROIT (AP) -- Two sisters captured in Colombia have pleaded guilty to committing health-care fraud in the Detroit area.
Caridad and Clara Guilarte have been in custody since March. Instead of being transferred to Detroit, they agreed to plead guilty last Wednesday to conspiracy in Miami federal court.
The sisters say they submitted $9 million in false Medicare claims for bogus services at a Dearborn clinic. Medicare in turn paid $6 million.
When they were captured overseas, the Guilartes were on the government's most-wanted list of health-care crooks. They face up to 20 years in prison when they return to court on Nov. 3.
