Italian police on Monday
arrested 42 people in collection with a suspected ring that
inflicted mutilations and fractures in order to defraud car
insurance policies.
The arrests took place in Palermo.
Those arrested include a Palermo lawyer who processed a
number of false claims, police said.
Hundreds of people were placed under investigation.
According to police, those whose limbs were mutilated or
