An operator of transitional housing for former addicts, ex-convicts and the homeless was arrested Wednesday on charges of grand larceny, money laundering and Medicaid fraud, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced.

Yury Baumblit and his wife, Rimma, were running a $2 million kickback scheme, dipping into the state’s Medicaid coffers by directing people housed in their residences to crooked substance-abuse providers, prosecutors said.

Yuri was held on $500,00 bond and Rimma on a bond of $300,000.
