Nabil Nahlah, of Miami Beach, Florida, was charged with one count of fraud for selling millions of dollars of personal protection equipment to the VA during the COVID-19 pandemic. Allegedly, Nahlah, through his company, The Noble Attorney, made bids on various procurement requests from the VA for items like medical masks and examination gloves. He won the contracts by making false and fraudulent representations, namely by claiming that his firm was an authorized distributor or reseller of the equipment and that he had the qualifying equipment in stock and available for immediate delivery. Once awarded the lucrative contracts, Nahlah shipped non-conforming PPE to the VA, including counterfeit medical masks. The VA OIG and the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations investigated this case, one of several recently prosecuted by the Department of Justice in South Florida.
