The trial against an insurance inspector started on Thursday in Elche, where the prosecution asked for four years in prison, alleging that the inspector defrauded the company of more than 165,000 euro by allegedly simulating traffic collisions in order to obtain compensation.
As reported by the Valencian Superior Court of Justice (TSJCV), in addition to this man, another four years in prison are requested for an alleged accomplice who is considered in charge of negotiating the payments of the scam with third parties involved, who could not be located.
The public prosecution maintains that, between the months of February and August 2009, the defendants falsified up to six files with the common denominator that the incidents were low-speed collisions without police intervention and with victims from Latvia or Lithuania who did not speak Spanish and who often had knee injuries.
The prosecution concludes that the inspector of the defrauded insurance company expedited the procedures to establish and obtain compensation in exchange for money, and that the other was in charge of negotiating payments with the rest of the people involved.
