Washington, An Indian-origin chief financial officer of a spinal implant company was sentenced to a four-month jail term by a US federal court for bribing surgeons to use the company’s products in exchange for sham consulting fees, authorities said.
After his jail term, Cambridge resident Aditya Humad, 41, will have one year of supervised release and pay a USD 9,500 fine.
Humad was charged in September 2021 along with Kingsley R. Chin, SpineFrontier’s Founder, President and CEO.
Humad conspired to bribe surgeons to use SpineFrontier’s products, and in turn, the company received millions of dollars in revenue from surgeries the surgeons performed.
“This sentence is the culmination of years of dogged pursuit of SpineFrontier, its executives, Aditya Humad and Kingsley Chin, and multiple bribe-taking doctors,” said United States Attorney Leah B Foley.
