Pursuant to the New Jersey False Claims Act, the Government & Healthcare Fraud Section conducts civil investigations and prosecutions related to fraudulent requests for State funds. The Section initiates cases and also acts on information obtained through qui tam suits filed by whistle-blowers in federal and state courts. The Section also represents the State and Division in investigations and litigation involving high impact investor and consumer protection issues.

Notable Cases:

  • Grewal v. Insys Therapeutics , Inc. and John Kapoor – The Section filed a complaint in 2017 against an opioid manufacturer and its founder for violations of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and New Jersey False Claims Act in the marketing and sale of Insys’s highly addictive fentanyl drug.

  • U.S. and New Jersey ex rel. Kleinow v. Ranco Construction, Inc. – In 2018 the Section, jointly with the United States Attorney’s Office in the District of New Jersey, reached a $1.5 million settlement with a construction company to resolve false claims allegations relating to failure to pay prevailing wages on government contracts.
