One of the biggest healthcare fraud cases in Texas, described by authorities as a bribery and kickback scheme by doctors, pharmacies and others to bilk the U.S. government out of $158 million, goes to trial Tuesday before a federal jury in Dallas.

Four Texans – a surgeon, a pharmacist, a pharmacy owner and one of his business associates – face various charges of conspiracy, healthcare fraud, money laundering and tax evasion. U.S. District Judge Sam A. Lindsay is presiding.
