According to the criminal complaint, Guardian submitted fraudulent claims for personal care aide services, companion care, homemaking, respite care, individualized home support and other community support services. State officials have designated many of these services as "high-risk" for fraud.

Prosecutors allege Omarxeyd and his wife siphoned more than $2 million from the company's accounts during the scheme.

The charges come amid a wide-ranging investigation that has targeted fraud across multiple Medicaid-funded programs. Other fraud allegations involve housing stabilization services and autism intervention programs.

No attorney is currently listed for Omarxeyd, whose first court appearance is Feb. 3.
