Overwhelming Cancer Insurance Fraud Exposed!
February 06, 2008 at 7:42 PM
Health Insurance News
The couple is found guilty of a 731,000 euros fraud after falsely claiming that the wife had breast cancer.
The couple after successfully claiming that Mrs. Massoud had breast cancer were found guilty of defrauding 45,338 on February 22, 2002 from Lifetime Assurance Company Ltd and 685,658 from Scottish Provident Ltd on March 25, 2002 where they had insurance covers for serious illnesses.
While civil proceedings will continue against the Massouds in the High Court the Scottish Provident and Lifetime Assurance are looking for the 730,996 to be paid back.
Once the case is successful the Massouds will have to sell their only remaining family home valued at 750,000.
Yesterday was day 15 of their criminal trial and the criminal court was rife with tension and alarming exposures even as the couple pleaded that they had no intention to defraud the insurance companies.
Judge McCartan applauded Detective Sergeant Declan Daly, who led the investigation, with his gardai colleagues. Gardai began an investigation after an insurance company received a tip-off by phone and letter about the couple.
Lawyers for the couple acknowledged that a lumpectomy to diagnose cancer was carried out by Dr Massoud, and not by a friend of the couple - as stated on the insurance claim forms during the trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
