Dismissal of Medicare fraud case against Donald Matthews, former Proove Bioscience executive, comes months after prosecutors dropped related case
Federal prosecutors in San Diego have dropped their case against a former executive of a biosciences company whoThe dismissal of Donald Joseph Matthews’s guilty plea comes months after the same government attorneysagainst his former boss and colleagues amid accusations of prosecutorial misconduct.
That left Matthews, Proove’s former vice president of market development, as the only former company executive still facing charges. After pleading guilty in August 2020, he worked as a cooperating witness for the government and his sentencing was delayed several times. Prosecutors did not spell out their reasoning for seeking to dismiss either case, instead using standard language that they were doing so “due to the interests of justice.”
Though at least one physician involved in the alleged kickback scheme was located in San Diego, it was not clear why the San Diego U.S. Attorney’s Office was handling the prosecutions of the Irvine-based company, nor why they indicted Meshkin and his co-defendants in the Central District of California, an area that covers Los Angeles County, Orange County and five others along the coast and the Inland Empire.
