Two Pennsylvania brothers, Bhaskar Savani and Arun Savani, were convicted in a multi-state racketeering conspiracy that involved various types of fraud. The Savani brothers built the Savani Group which raised millions of dollars through these fraud schemes.
Bhaskar Savani is a dentist and their group committed medical fraud as well. Interestingly, the brothers bragged on social media about meeting Kash Patel and posted pictures with him. They also celebrated when Kash Patel became FBI director even though they were on the agency’s radar and were indicted in 2023. Alexandra Radomiak, an associate of the brothers, was also convicted and faces up to 40 years in prison and a fine.
The two brothers face a prison sentence of more than 400 years – Bhaskar 420 years and Arun 415 years. They are scheduled to be sentenced in July 2026.
