Lead #3Guzman is known to speak Spanish—has he remained in the New York area or fled elsewhere?
Daniel Guzman is a fugitive wanted for his role in a Medicaid fraud scheme involving a pharmacy in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood, where he allegedly submitted false reimbursement claims for prescription drugs that were never dispensed, costing the program millions of dollars. After his arrest on August 13, 2008, Guzman was released on bond but failed to appear for a subsequent court date in January 2009, leading to a federal failure to appear charge. Locating Guzman remains important to hold him accountable for the fraud and ensure he faces justice.
