The Leicester Crown Court convicted three women and five men from different areas across the United Kingdom for taking part in a car insurance swindle involving tens of thousands of pounds. The people that took part made fraudulent claims of injuries and damage that supposedly followed four car accidents in Birmingham and Leicester.
Out of the four accidents that they filed claims on Harrison Barnes Womens Jersey , there was only evidence that only one collision actually occurred. Though one accident did occur, the claim filed was not a true reflection of the actual damage.
Police began to look into the case in 2008 when they received word that Leicester resident, 37 year old, Hooman Jaffari was a conspirator in one of the false collision cases. The investigation led officers to Experts Limited. They learned that Jaffari owned this Birmingham company, and that the company specialized in fraudulent claims.
When Leicestershire Constabulary began collaborating with an independent collision investigator Seth Curry Womens Jersey , the pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place. The minimal vehicle damage that was supposedly caused by the four collisions was not equivalent to the extensive destruction that the filed claims reflected. Jaffari was the intermediary, and served the claims on a Lancashire insurance company. The “claimants” filed claims with Jaffari, and he then filed the fraudulent claims with the company. Through his schemes, Jaffari earned about ?36 000. Overall, the eight people involved earned approximately ?50 000.
If there had been no conviction following the police investigation Dirk Nowitzki Womens Jersey , authorities estimated that the group might have earned double that amount of money in no time. Authorities arrested and charged all eight of the defendants by March of 2010.

Jaffari was the mastermind of the scheme Dennis Smith Jr. Womens Jersey , and was the one that gained the most from the whole endeavor, but according to Constable Jackson, “.all defendants had their part to play.” His only hope is that the trial will act as a deterrent for would be fraudsters that think they can get over on the system. He also warns that, “no matter how small your role is, you will be caught.”
There were many officers involved the investigation Wesley Matthews Jersey , along with the UK Border Agency. Many authorities believe that without so much hard work and inter-agency collaboration, a conviction might not have been possible.
Director of the Insurance Fraud Bureau, Glenn Marr expressed gratitude in stating that, “This is another successful joint collaboration with law enforcement.”
