Description: Philadelphia, PA - Delaware Man Sentenced To Ten Years For Passing Forged Oxycodone Prescriptions

Khar Abdulah, 40, of New Castle, Delaware was semtenced to ten years in prison for his role in schemes to distribute oxycodone, commit health care fraud and commit aggravated identity theft. The Honorable Paul S. Diamond, United States District Judge, also ordered Abdulah to pay full restitution to the health care benefit programs that the defendant and his co-conspirators had defrauded, and further ordered Abdulah to serve three years of supervised release upon his release from prison.

On March 18, 2016, a grand jury in Philadelphia returned a second superseding indictment charging Abdulah and a codefendant with conspiring to distribute oxycodone, a Schedule II controlled substance, conspiracy to commit health care fraud and aggravated identity theft. From March 2012 until August 2013, Abdulah forged prescriptions for oxycodone, filled them at pharmacies using stolen health insurance information, then sold the pills on the street. On August 16, 2016, Abdulah pleaded guilty to all charges against him in the indictment.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
