Six men were found guilty on 7th December 2005 at the end of a trial at Harrow Crown Court that investigated insurance fraud and money laundering.
The men had made over £1.5m in fake car accident claims made to motor insurance companies. The fraud was found to have been going on for six years, with hundreds of compensation claims being made by the men.
Discovery of the first two fraudulent car accident claims was made in 1999 by an intelligence and investigations officer at Miller Pycraft, and further scrutiny was funded by the company Fortis Insurance, to which the counterfeit claims had been made.
Support was found in many other insurance companies, and AXA, Direct Line, Admiral, Norwich Union, and Zenith Motor Insurance at Lloyds helped the investigation.
The trial of the men lasted 14 weeks, with two men being found guilty of money laundering and all being found guilty of conspiracy to defraud by making false car accident claims. All are to be sentenced on the 22nd December 2005.
