Incredible loom disguised as an accident! Expert, body shop and driver hand in hand...

Fraud Bureau teams affiliated with the Public Order Branch of the Provincial Police Department, under the coordination of the Adana Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, launched an investigation in 2022 against the network that was determined to defraud insurance companies through fictional traffic accidents.

During the technical and physical follow-up, which lasted approximately 4 years, it was determined that the network members faked 76 traffic accidents during this period and obtained unfair compensation from 17 insurance companies with the help of the experts they worked with. Detention orders were issued for 88 suspects whose identities were determined.

The police, based in Adana, launched an operation in Kocaeli, Kastamonu, Kayseri, Kahramanmaraş, Konya and Çankırı and detained 86 suspects, including insurance agency owners and employees, experts and body shops, in simultaneous raids on many addresses on October 20. It was also stated that 2 people for whom detention orders were issued within the scope of the operation were in prison.

THEY SHOWN ACCIDENT VEHICLES AS AS REPAIRED

During the technical and physical follow-up of the police, it was revealed that the network used 'rental drivers' in fictional accidents. It was determined that the suspects arranged traffic accidents by putting paid drivers into the vehicles and collided the vehicles at pre-planned points in a way that would cause minimal damage. It was later determined that they received payment from insurance companies by pretending that the vehicles they took to the body shop were repaired through the experts they agreed with. It was stated that this money was shared among the network members and commissions were paid to the experts.

UNFAIR PROFIT OF 25 MILLION LIRAS

In addition, during the police pursuit, it was determined that a car was used in 7 different fake accidents, was shown as if it was sold to 5 different people, and after each transfer, compulsory traffic insurance was taken out from a different insurance company. It was determined that the suspects gained approximately 25 million liras of unfair profit in accidents in which 98 different vehicles were used with this method.

58 ARREST

Of the 86 suspects who were referred to the courthouse after their procedures at the police station, 58 were arrested in court, and 28 people were released on condition of judicial control.
