A Report in YNet News, there is certain to be more on this, as least in Israel
Israel Police National Economic Crimes Unit investigators Tuesday morning arrested 15 people —about half of whom are doctors — suspected of being involved in an insurance-fraud scheme.
Police have accused the 15 of inventing car accidents to defraud the National Insurance Institute of Israel (NII) and insurance companies of estimated millions of shekels.
In an operation dubbed "White Robe", conducted with the assistance of the NII and Avner insurance, a large scam was discovered whereby suspects used counterfit car accidents to receive money from the NII and insurance companies for damages and surgeries. Among those arrested are an assistant district psychiatrist, an orthopedic surgeon, and a radiologist.
Evidence collected by the police points to a "well-oiled" machine operated by several suspects, two of whom assisted the "claimants" by guiding them through the process of faking accidents, acquiring falsified doctors' forms, accompanying them until receiving money from the NII and insurance companies, and finally splitting this sum.
