1Opinion of the Court
Thompson, Justice.
We granted certiorari to the Court of Appeals in these consolidated cases to determine where venue lies in the prosecution of cases of Medicaid fraud committed by a fraudulent scheme or device under OCGA § 49-4-146.1 (b) (1) (C). We hold that venue is proper in any county where an act was committed in furtherance of the fraudulent transaction. To the extent that the Court of Appeals reached a contrary conclusion in Culver v. State, 254 Ga. App. 297 (1) (b) (562 SE2d 201) (2002) and Cash v. State, 254 Ga. App. 718 (2) (563 SE2d 459) (2002), those cases are reversed.
