The healthcare-fraud unit of the Justice Department’s criminal division is overseeing the investigation, the people said, and it has been an active probe since at least last summer.

While the exact nature of the potential criminal allegations against UnitedHealth is unclear, the people said the federal investigation is focusing on the company’s Medicare Advantage business practices.

UnitedHealth didn’t respond to written questions Wednesday. A DOJ spokesman declined to comment.

The probe adds to a list of government inquiries into the company, including investigations of potential antitrust violations and a civil investigation of its Medicare billing practices, including at its doctors offices.

As you put these quotes side by side, I grew less convinced by what's told in the article. Two quotes are sourced by what 'people said', the third one is an inquiry that led to nothing and the forth is a conclusion based on all these, WSJ isn't the shining beacon of journalism, but what the hell lol.
