The son of a former co-owner of a Union City pharmacy has admitted his role in multimillion-dollar conspiracies to pay kickbacks and bribes to health care professionals and to defraud the IRS, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced on Jan. 14.
Alex Fleyshmakher, 34, of the Morganville section of Marlboro, pleaded guilty by videoconference before U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp to a superseding information charging him with conspiring to violate the federal anti-kickback statute and conspiring to defraud the IRS, according to a press release.
The superseding information alleges that Fleyshmakher conspired to solicit and pay kickbacks with seven other individuals, three of whom were previously charged with him by superseding indictment: Samuel “Sam” Khaimov and Yana Shtindler, both of Glen Head, N.Y., and Ruben Sevumyants of Marlboro.
