On Friday, the U.S. government formally requested his extradition, according to a court filing from Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahmed remains in custody in Serbia, despite requesting on December 30 to be released to a hotel in Belgrade, which was denied. His attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Ahmed had been living abroad since federal prosecutors declared him a fugitive just before the indictment was filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"639\" src=\"http:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Clipboard01386-1024x639.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-199698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Clipboard01386-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Clipboard01386-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Clipboard01386-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Clipboard01386.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fraud Scheme with Hospital Funds and COVID Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prosecutors allege that Ahmed and his associate, Samir Suhail, together embezzled $15 million from Loreto Hospital, a taxpayer-funded facility, and steered an additional $19 million in contracts to Suhail through bribery and corruption.

Ahmed resigned from Loreto in March 2021 amid public scrutiny, then returned to Houston, where he operated nightclubs, purchased and sold multimillion-dollar properties, and launched Anosh Inc., claiming to be an investment and consulting firm. He also planned offices in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using stolen patient data, Ahmed allegedly submitted fraudulent COVID test reimbursement claims through O\u2019Hare Clinical Lab, directing staff to deceive government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his fugitive period, Ahmed issued press releases with photoshopped images portraying himself as a Republican leader and attempting to attract Donald Trump\u2019s attention, likely hoping for a pardon.
