Three faked accidents to con insurance firms

Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution referred three suspects to the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court for fabricating traffic accidents.

A source from the office of the Attorney General of Abu Dhabi said the investigations of Traffic Prosecution were concluded and three Arab nationals were charged with deception, vandalising, giving false statement. It was evident that the three suspects had designed traffic accidents to con insurance companies, he added.

The first clue of their design were discovered in the daily audit process done by Saeed, the UAE-based company responsible for reconstruction of accident scene and defining legal liability. Upon suspecting a certain case reconstructed by the Company, it was clear the damages were in fact old ones and did not relate to the date of the registered accident.

This led the Company to review its record to discover the involvement of additional suspects in several other accidents with close time intervals.

Three out of four suspects admitted to the Traffic Prosecution that they agreed to cook up traffic accidents and that they indeed encashed insurance money against issued liability reports.

The three suspects were detained on the charges and referred to the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance.

The source urged all drivers to respect traffic laws, especially with respect to notifying about traffic accidents immediately. Non-observance of these rules is a legal violation, he said.
