Five Arrested in Orange County for Fraud: "California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner announced the arrests of five people in four separate cases of insurance fraud in Orange County.
The arrests included:
• The arrest of an Irvine man for filing an insurance claim for rental car payments he allegedly made to himself. James Toufic Assali, 32, was arrested at his residence on Jan. 23, 2007 by the Irvine Police Department on three felony counts of insurance fraud, and one felony count of attempted grand theft. Assali was booked into the Orange County jail, and his bail was set at $20,000.
According to Orange Regional Office of the CDI Fraud Division Investigators, Assali submitted a fraudulent rental car invoice to Infinity Insurance claiming $5,235 in rental charges. The invoice showed payment for the vehicle was to be made to 'Fortis Rental Solutions.' When Assali was questioned about the invoice, he said he never heard of the company Fortis Rental Solutions and that his wife had made all of the car rental arrangements."
