At a hearing this morning, U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr. sentenced Amudat Williams, 54, and his spouse and co-defendant Sunday Adebisi to 44 months each in federal prison without parole and ordered them to jointly to pay $2,190,772 in restitution to Medicare. Williams and Adebisi, both of Houston, were convicted after pleading guilty on Dec. 18, 2008, to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and receiving kickbacks. During today’s proceedings, Judge Werlein further ordered that neither Williams nor Adebisi were to have any involvement with the operation of a business that submits claims to the Medicare program.
