This is the question to ask for anyone who wants to get rich on the back of an insurance company. It is sometimes easier to defraud an insurer than to resist the need to display external signs of wealth.
Recently in the West of France, in Seine-Maritime, a restaurant owner swindled, with the help of his wife, nearly 2.5 million USD to his insurance company. He had thought of everything: getting a dozen fake identity documents, opening several accounts in different banks, and so on. Unfortunately for him, he had forgotten an important rule which is not to show a lifestyle much higher than the one corresponding to one's resources.
It is this last detail that has aroused the suspicions of the gendarmes. The suspect not only drove a luxurious car but has also built in a short time property assets which he could not afford.
After investigation, the gendarmes discover that since 2004, the restaurant owner has committed several scams worth a total of nearly 2.5 million USD.
