Camorra Behind Polish Insurance Fraud Scheme
The Neapolitan mafia, Camorra, has been identified as orchestrating a large-scale insurance fraud operation in Poland, according to an investigation by Gazeta Wyborcza. The scheme involves Italian nationals insuring vehicles in Poland, often illegally, and staging accidents to claim compensation. This practice has escalated from merely registering vehicles to deliberately faking collisions to extract payouts from Polish insurers.
The fraudulent activities are facilitated by the lower insurance premiums in Poland compared to Italy, making it an attractive target for such scams. The operation not only exploits the Polish insurance system but also poses challenges for law enforcement agencies in both countries.
Authorities are now collaborating to dismantle this cross-border criminal network. The exposure of Camorra's involvement underscores the need for stricter verification processes within the insurance industry and enhanced international cooperation to combat organized crime.
