The clinic's license was revoked in 2010, but the investigation revealed that the doctors allegedly continued to provide prescription pain medication.

Officials said medical and medical business related documents for Boca East Pain Management were obtained throughout the investigation, which Battagliola owned.

Battagliola, Cukierman and Ho were arrested by authorities Thursday afternoon. Officials said Prats is still at large and has an active warrant out for his arrest.

The Palm Beach County Multi-Agency Diversion Task Force includes the county's sheriff's office, state attorney's office, police department and other agencies throughout the country.
