Guyanese Shamiza Ally, nee Bacchus, was arrested at JFK Airport on October 7, 2019, after disembarking a flight from Guyana.
Shamiza Ally was indicted along with Sean Ally and Lissette Joza by New York Attorney General Letitia James on September 17, 2019, for stealing over US$1,000,000 by billing New York’s Medicare program for services that were never provided. A warrant was issued for Ally’s arrest on September 13, 2019, but she had fled to Guyana sometime before.
The U.S. Marshals Service working in conjunction with the U.S. Embassy in Guyana, facilitated the process for Shamiza Ally to return to the United States where she was met at the airport by U.S. Marshalls and investigators from the NY Attorney General’s office.
Ally, who was arraigned on fraud and money laundering charges, pleaded not guilty during her court appearance on October 8, 2019, and is scheduled to return to court on October 16, 2019.
