The Flashy Fugitives Ex-Loretto Leader And Pal Accused Of Stealing Millions Are Living Large In Dubai

Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, both former leaders at Loretto Hospital in Chicago, face serious charges for embezzling $15 million while living luxuriously in Dubai. Prosecutors allege they collaborated to divert an additional $19 million in hospital contracts through corrupt practices, including bribery. The hospital, which primarily serves low-income and under-insured patients, suffered greatly from their alleged actions. Ahmed is also implicated in a separate COVID-19 testing fraud scheme that defrauded the government of approximately $300 million. Investigative reporting by Block Club Chicago highlighted their questionable conduct, prompting federal investigations that led to charges against other hospital executives.

Suhail's attorney stated that he is actively working to return to the U. S. to confront the charges, citing delays due to unrelated civil matters abroad. As fugitives, their case remains stalled, complicating efforts for accountability. The lack of an extradition treaty between the U.

S. and the UAE raises questions about the future of their prosecution.
