Three local doctors are in trouble with the feds tonight over a prescription drug scheme that allegedly raked in millions of dollars.
Today federal prosecutors unsealed a superseding indictment with new charges and more defendants.
They say West Bloomfield chiropractor Boris Zigmond is at the center of it all.
He was initially arrested in Florida last May on charges of running a pain pill ring that illegally sold prescription drugs on the streets.
The new indictment also names 39-year-old Dr. Jennifer Franklin of Harrison Township and 78-year-old Dr. Carlos Godoy of Farmington Hills.
Prosecutors say Zigmond arranged for them to see fake patients and write prescriptions for highly addictive painkiller - mostly Roxicodone and the generic version Oxycodone.
The new indictment also names 7 other people from metro Detroit who are charged with conspiracy to illegally distribute prescriptions.
Prosecutors say the elaborate operation funneled about one million pills to the streets - bringing in nearly $6 million.
