Three Louisiana police chiefs, a city marshal, and Subway owner Chandrakant "Lala" Patel face a XX count federal indictment for bribery, mail fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, and visa fraud.

They faked hundreds of armed robbery reports over a decade in small towns like Oakdale, Glenmora, and Forest Hill, with immigrants paying Patel thousands to be listed as victims for U-visas, intended for genuine crime victims aiding law enforcement.

Using official letterhead, they falsified and mailed reports to federal agencies.  Patel coordinated payments to officers. This racket abused the system, pocketing tens of thousands. The case is unfolding.
