Nevada business owner given 21 months for sending hospital fraudulent invoices
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (KOLO) – A Las Vegas business owner has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for sending more than $700,000 in fraudulent invoices to a hospital.
The Department of Justice says Roland Sagun Torres caused the hospital to mail checks to him for products not provided by the hospital.
Court documents show that between 2020 and June 2022, Torres devised a scheme to defraud the hospital. As part of the scheme, he used the names of at least 100 patients and doctors at the hospital to submit fake invoices from his businesses for products that he did not provide.
The DOJ says this caused the hospital to mail Torres’s company $712,000. He pleaded guilty on Nov. 3, 2023.
In addition to his imprisonment, Torres will spend three years on parole and pay $712,000 in restitution.
