A clinic in Flagami was raided by undercover agents on Tuesday, and a man accused of insurance fraud was arrested, according to police.
Police officers served a warrant at the H. Miami Medical Clinic, which is located on West Flagler Street and Southwest 40th Avenue.
Officers were able to track down the clinic’s owner, 62-year-old Alex Borrero, thanks to the FBI.
Borrero is suspected of participating in a system that fakes car accidents and then invoices insurance companies for phantom injuries.
“The victim here, which is the insurance company, reached out, noticed there was a small amount of individuals that were engaged in a large number of crash and would subsequently always get some sort of medical relief after,” said Miami Police Chief Manny Morales.
Officers were observed questioning a woman in the back of a police car.
When pressed for a comment, Borrero stated in Spanish that it was merely an investigation.
In June, the same case led to the detention of Rodylaidi Martinez, 30, and Greter Aguirre Guerra, 24.
