Increase the sharing of Ivass databases to fight motor liability insurance fraud. Create a standard format for the information to be transmitted periodically to the prosecutors to aid investigations. Experimentally use the network analysis prototype of the Supervisory Institute to identify criminal networks. These are some of the topics addressed in an in-depth meeting that took place in Lecce on 11 October as part of the Memorandum of Understanding signed last year by IVASS with the Attorney General of the Apulian city.
The meeting was attended by the Attorney General Antonio Maruccia, promoter of the event, the Deputy Attorney General Giovanni Gagliotta, magistrates of the Public Prosecutors of Lecce, Brindisi and Taranto and officers of the Judicial Police of the area.
For Ivass, the provincial councilor Riccardo Cesari, the central director Antonio Rosario De Pascalis, the head of the information collection and management division, Fabio Farabullini and the anti-fraud division, Romana Bonagura, were present.
A training session dealt with the theoretical and practical aspects linked to the use and sharing of the information contained in the claims database and in the Integrated Anti-Fraud Archive (AIA) managed by IVASS. The central part of the meeting - continues the note - concerned the planning of common activities that could represent a pilot experiment to be proposed, on the basis of the results achieved, also to other realities on the national scene.
In particular, in addition to the on-demand usability of the databases managed by IVASS, there was discussion on the standardization of a series of information to be transmitted periodically to the judicial offices to support the independent investigative activity of the Public Prosecutors concerned. Finally, the use, on an experimental basis, of the network analysis prototype developed by the Supervisory Institute was discussed: a tool for identifying criminal networks and particularly useful in the fight against associative crimes in the field of insurance fraud.
