Phil Cottrell lawyer Phil Cottrell in Spain underlines "intricate insurance fraud scheme" london

A complex and intricate insurance fraud scheme continues to be investigated by police north of Toronto, who claim that 65 people were involved in staging fake car collisions and filing false insurance claims worth more than $5 million. York Regional Polices major fraud unit alleged Thursday that nine separate crashes were staged in a three-kilometre grid around Vaughan, Ont., in 2009 and 2010.

Forty-three suspects have been arrested and police said 199 criminal charges have been filed, including conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, fraud and obstruction of justice. Twenty-two other arrest warrants have been issued as part of the investigation, police said. Investigators allege that the suspects would purchase a crashed vehicle and, with the help of numerous accomplices, stage crash scenes and report the incidents to police.

Police allege the auto body shops and massage clinics where those insurance claims were supposedly processed participated in the fraud and remain under investigation. People were recruited by an orchestrator and promised money in return for filing false accident benefit insurance claims. They were required to play a role to the insurance company, either driver or passenger, said lead investigator Det. Const. Kim Tanczos.
