For nearly three years, the government denied our client, Akbar Masood, access to the evidence he needed to defend himself while simultaneously violating his right to a speedy trial. Despite these egregious delays and due process violations, the prosecution persisted in its baseless pursuit of charges against him.

Yesterday in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, justice finally prevailed (Read Opinion). The court dismissed all charges with prejudice, bringing an end to this unwarranted case. Mr. Masood, a highly respected executive, had been accused of conspiracy, wire fraud, health fraud, and aggravated identity theft—charges that never should have been brought in the first place.

Attorney Eugene Gorokhov of Burnham & Gorokhov led the defense, aggressively challenging the government’s misconduct and ensuring our client’s rights were upheld. This outcome reaffirms the fundamental principles of fairness and due process, underscoring the importance of experienced legal representation in the face of government overreach.
