SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) Prosecutors say two doctors and 10 current and former U.S. Postal Service employees in Puerto Rico have been indicted in a $620,000 federal fraud case.
U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez says the suspects are accused of submitting fake claims to obtain workers compensation benefits.
She said Thursday that the doctors would charge as much as $1,650 to prepare the fraudulent reports.
One of the doctors arrested is Alfonso Madrid, a well-known psychiatrist and local media personality. Calls to his office went unanswered on Thursday.
A federal grand jury indicted the suspects following a two-year investigation into the case.
