THE Public Prosecutor is asking for four years in prison for two insurance agents accused of fraud in Motril.

Prosecutors are asking for four years in prison for the agents after they were accused of insurance fraud in Motril.
The pair also face €3,240 in fines after they allegedly obtained insurance pay outs on policies.
Prosecutors say the two obtained payments from 46 clients for non-existent insurance policies after the victims were sold insurance policies which were never processed.
The suspects allegedly pretended to set up car-insurance policies and home-insurance policies in Motril in 2013 and 2014 for new clients and ones who already had insurance policies in their office.
According to the Public Prosecutor, “they had the intention to lead the victims to erroneously believe that their vehicles and homes were correctly covered by an insurance policy obtained through them, charging in cash or debited from their bank accounts the periodic premium payments.”
