German law enforcers found that almost 230 firms for the care of the sick and disabled, based in Germany by immigrants from the former USSR, created a system of coordinated counterfeiting of bills for services rendered.

This is written by Die Welt, reports Deutsche Welle.

Thus, according to the final report of the special investigation team of the Federal Office for Criminal Cases of the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia, according to preliminary agreement with patients and doctors, firms are billed for services that they did not actually provide.

According to law enforcement officers, the criminal network is controlled mainly from Berlin. Firms scammers, due to fraud received large sums of money from insurance companies, are particularly active in North Rhine-Westphalia, Berlin, Lower Saxony, Brandenburg and Bavaria. Almost two thirds of these companies are connected to each other through various networks throughout Germany.

The report also notes that many of the firms suspected of fraud in the provision of care services, as well as their management are simultaneously engaged in other criminal activities - money laundering, extortion and illegal gambling. Among the leaders of such firms there are those whom the authorities of Germany suspect of contract killings.
