In 2005 an investigation of the Malik family of psychiatrists in the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan area revealed that they were the top fraud violators of the psychiatric profession in the St. Louis area.
Dr. Mohd Azfar Malik, 71, pleaded guilty in April 2025 to making false statements related to health care matters.
Dr. Asim Muhammad Ali, 54, an internal medical specialist working for Malik, also pleaded guilty to illegally distributing controlled substances (ketamine) and several other crimes.
They have now both been sentenced for their crimes.
Malik was sentenced in August 2025 to five years of probation, fined $20,000, and ordered to pay $19,442 in restitution.
Ali was sentenced in September 2025 to 70 months in prison and ordered to pay $1,846,818.
