Attorney General Adam Laxalt announced the largest multi-defendant indictment in Nevada Attorney General history. A Clark County Grand Jury returned a 68 felony count indictment against 24 defendants, for filing 23 fraudulent insurance claims related to staged automobile accidents. The counts against the Las Vegas residents include racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, multiple transactions involving fraud or deceit in the course of an enterprise or occupation, battery with a deadly weapon, insurance fraud, and theft charges. This all happened between September 2014 and May 2017. Prosecutors say they staged no less than 19 automobile accidents and four thefts to fraudulently receive insurance benefits.
