His sentence includes paying $2.1 million in restitution and he will have to surrender his medical license.
Court documents said 66-year-old Deepak Raheja conspired with fellow co-defendants Frank Mazzucco, Gregory Hayslette and Bhupinder Sawhny to increase the number of prescriptions written by both Raheja and Sawhny for a prescription drug called Nuedexta.
Officials said Raheja would join Avanir-sponsored speaker’s bureaus, where he would receive approximately $1,500 for each of his 211 speaking events between February 2011 and July 2016 while promoting the drug’s sale. A United States Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed Raheja pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to solicit, receive, offer and pay health care kickbacks in November 2022.
