Say goodbye to layover woes and hello to unforgettable adventures with Turkish Airlines' Stopover Istanbul and Touristanbul programmes
Raju Kosuri, 44, and his wife Smriti Jharia, 45, of Ashburn, along with four co-conspirators fraudulently applied for more than 800 illegal immigration benefits under the H-1B visa program.
The indictment alleges that Kosuri has set up a network of shell companies that he presents to immigration authorities as independent businesses in need of Indian workers, but which he, in fact, owns and controls.
The visa fraud scheme involves the forgery of numerous individuals' signatures on visa petitions and exhibits without their knowledge.
The indictment alleges that Kosuri has generated gross proceeds of at least $20 million over the life of the scheme, the Justice Department said.
The indictment also alleged that Kosuri and Jharia conspired with a consultant named Raimondo Piluso to defraud the Small Business Administration, by submitting fraudulent HUBZone applications.
Kosuri, Jharia, and Piluso are alleged to have concealed the true location, ownership, and employees of a business called EcomNets Federal Solutions in order to obtain a federal loan and contract preferences, from which they have generated $150,000 in loan proceeds and five contract awards.
