The Hungarian lost his legs for the sake of a large insurance, but instead went to jail

Scammers who make money on insurance cases are very desperate guys. But they were all put to shame by a Hungarian resident who rushed under the train for insurance payments. The locomotive cut off both his legs to the knees and it seemed that everything ended well. But the insurers are also not blind and sent him to jail instead of paying the money.

The cunning Hungarian concluded 14 life and health insurance contracts with different companies in 2013-2014. Immediately after that, he was hit by a train and was left without legs. According to the insurance, he was supposed to receive 2.8 million euros (228 million rubles). But something went wrong — his accident seemed unconvincing to the insurers.

Specialists of insurance agencies who have seen a lot of nimble clients were confused by several facts. Firstly, the man was under the train immediately after signing the policies. The victim claimed that his financial adviser advised him to keep the money not in a bank, but in an insurance account. But this argument was not accepted.

Another strange moment was that the victim's wife "accidentally" found herself next to a bag full of medicines and accessories for first aid. When the spouse was hit by a train, the spouse immediately began to save him. The woman insists that she came to the station by accident, and always carries a first aid kit with her.

The version of the insured Hungarian was quite convincing. He said that he was driving, but his car broke down. Since he was in a hurry, he decided to take the train. On the platform, he stepped on some fragments that injured his ankle and then fell under the wheels of the train.

The driver had the decisive word in this matter. At first he agreed with the version about the fall, but then admitted that everything was very similar to a staged accident. According to the railwayman, the victim pretended that he fell on the rails and did not make any attempts to escape.

The case seems quite simple, but the disputed amount was too big. With varying success, the courts went on for 7 years. As a result, instead of the millions owed to him, the Hungarian received two years in prison for fraud. Fortunately for him, the judges took pity on the disabled person and gave him a two-year suspended sentence. If he is law-abiding, then prison will be avoided.
