A federal jury in Brooklyn found pharmacists Yousef Ennab and Mohamed Hassan guilty of conspiracy to dispense and distribute oxycodone through fraudulent prescriptions. They face up to 60 years in prison for their involvement in a scheme that funneled over 1.2 million pills valued at $36 million, primarily targeting patients who had never been examined or whose identities were stolen. The pharmacists conspired with drug dealers for cash payments while billing insurance fraudulently, undermining the trust placed in them by their profession.
The defendants abused their access to oxycodone and violated the trust placed in them as pharmacists by illegally agreeing to supply drug dealers with tens of thousands of pills.
The scheme funneled more than 1.2 million oxycodone pills, valued at over $36 million, through pharmacies controlled by Hassan, with fraudulent prescriptions.
