The search for an overdue boater wanted for Medicare fraud has been called off and officials suspect he has fled the country, the Miami Herald reports. Robert A. Garcia-Esquerro’s wife reported him missing May 4 to the U.S. Coast Guard, a day after he left the Key West Marina for a fishing trip.
Garcia-Esquerro is wanted on Medicare fraud charges related to his work at several Miami-Dade mental health clinics, according to the Herald. One psychotherapy clinic, owned by his father, billed Medicare more than $10 million filed annually, the Herald reports.
