Man who falsely claimed injury after traffic collision jailed for over two years

Constantin Iosca (46) withdrew his claim after CCTV footage from insurer investigation showed him walking unaided

Iosca’s case was heard in the High Court in January 2020. The claim was withdrawn three days later by Iosca’s counsel on his instruction after CCTV harvested by G4S was played.

The court heard that this CCTV showed Iosca getting in and out of a wheelchair and walking unaided.

Iosca was convicted following a weeklong trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court last November of dishonestly inducing the MIBI to investigate a personal injury claim that was a fraudulent insurance claim. The maximum available sentence is five years.

Iosca has 19 previous summary convictions including five for theft, nine for road traffic offences, four for public order offences and one minor assault.
 
The court was told that FBD was nominated as the insurance company and as part of their investigation, employed G4S to conduct surveillance and an engineer to speak to Iosca and provide a report.

Does this mean that he claimed that it was a hit and run and, in such cases, the MIBI nominate an insurance company to deal with the claim?

yes

If you get hit by an uninsured car or they don't know the identity of the car, the MIBI nominate an insurance company to deal with the claim.
