An Indian national residing in the US illegally has pleaded guilty to participating in a cross-country conspiracy that defrauded elderly Americans out of more than $2.1 million, federal prosecutors announced on May 21.

Rakesh Kumar Patel, 36, of Flushing, New York, entered a guilty plea before US District Judge Richard G. Andrews in Wilmington, Delaware, to wire fraud conspiracy charges. The charges stem from a year-long scheme that manipulated vulnerable senior citizens into surrendering their life savings under the guise of cooperating with a fictitious federal investigation.
