YOUNGSTOWN -  A Boardman attorney has pleaded guilty to fraudulently collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical insurance claims.

Anthony Fusco, 33, pleaded guilty to insurance fraud on Tuesday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Fusco was indicted in January for telecommunications and insurance fraud.

As part of the plea agreement, the telecommunications fraud count was dismissed.

Prosecutors say Fusco filed approximately $800,000 in false medical claims to insurance companies during a two-and-a-half-year period beginning in March 2017.

Fusco will be sentenced later.

According to state records, Fusco’s license to practice law is inactive.
