Mr. Hamedany was responsible for a hospital renovation that took place from 2006 to June 2010, during which time he had the sole authority of approving construction contracts. He was accused of authorizing more than $3.8 million in payments to various construction companies — three of which were controlled by either Mr. Hamedany himself or a relative.
The construction companies then allegedly paid back more than $3 million to Mr. Hamedany and his relative without performing the work required under the fraudulent contracts or performing very little of it, according to the report. Huntington Memorial Hospital officials were reportedly never told about the lack of work and are cooperating with authorities during the investigation.
