Fake car insurance in Genoa: the gang with operational base in Castel Volturno in the province of Caserta caught
Contents
The Carabinieri of Serra Riccò discover a power plant in Campania and fake brokers who have robbed dozens of people in the city.
The fake broker
The broker who offered insurance contracts at advantageous prices for cars and motorcycles throughout Valpolocevera was nothing more than an unscrupulous fraudster. A member of a criminal organization based in Castel Volturno, a municipality in the province of Caserta in Campania, capable of placing "hundreds of contracts throughout Liguria and in particular in Genoa", write the Carabinieri in a report that ended up on the desk of the prosecutors of the Public Prosecutor's Office.
The organization of the scam was perfect and studied down to the smallest details.
A website and web advertising where Rca contracts were offered at prices 50 percent lower than those of the competition. And yet it was all a scam. Because customers who signed up for the policy did indeed receive contracts but they turned out to be fake. Both in the event of an accident and during checks by the police. "Because those vehicles were not insured", specifies a carabiniere who followed the case.
In addition to the Valpolcevera broker – also originally from Campania and resident in Genoa for a few months to place insurance contracts and advertise the “group” – three other people ended up in trouble. All residents of the province of Caserta. The investigations by the military of the Serra Riccò station, directed by lieutenant Antonio Muscolino, were triggered by an anomalous fact.
That is, from a series of accidents that all occurred in Valpolcevera in which it emerged that almost all the drivers of the vehicles were not in fact insured. The same drivers, however, questioned by the military had produced policies and certificates of insurance for the vehicles. Adding that they had paid the insurance regularly. Only after careful analysis did these prove to be false.
Aggravated fraud
The Serra Riccò military interrogated all the people who had signed the insurance policy. Among them were some motorists who, stopped during road checks, were found to be driving uninsured vehicles. It emerged that all of them had connected to a website on the broker's instructions and had paid the insurance fee there through an IBAN (the code that identifies the bank account).
“It seemed to us to be a guarantee of reliability,” they explained. The Carabinieri then began investigations, discovering that the code in question was nothing more than a rechargeable card into which the proceeds of false insurance policies were transferred. The military then identified first the broker who had proposed the policies and then subsequently the other members of the organization. They must all answer for the crime of aggravated fraud.
