Officers from the Economic Crime Division of the Lubin District Police Headquarters were investigating a case involving the fraudulent collection of undue cash benefits from insurance policies. As a result of their operational work and the information gathered, they arrested another person—this time, a 44-year-old resident of Lubin.
The officers established that in June 2018, the suspect defrauded the insurance company with which she held a policy of 15,000 zlotys. First, the woman forged documents—laboratory test results and an information card—and then reported to the insurer that she had undergone hospital treatment in connection with a serious illness.
The police established, however, that the suspect had never been a patient in the hospital ward in question; nor had she used the services of the laboratory named in the documentation.
The 44-year-old has already been charged. She admitted her guilt. She now faces up to eight years in prison.
