Brooklyn, NY - Clinic at the Center of Insurance Scam

Brooklyn, NY - A physician, a medical clinic owner and others are accused of a multimillion dollar auto insurance scam involving staged crashes and perpetrators who sought unnecessary treatment at facilities that were part of the scheme, said state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. Twenty people were indicted throughout New York City. In the 20-month investigation, Spitzer said.
The defendants are charged with scheming to defraud, money laundering, grand larceny, insurance fraud, falsifying business records, and offering false instruments for filing. Spitzer also opened a civil lawsuit seeking to recover $3.9 million from the defendants, some of whose bank accounts were frozen under a court order.

Among the defendants are a physician and a "secret'' owner of AR Medical, also Dr. Alexander Rozenberg, 52, of Brooklyn who specializes in physical rehabilitation. Spitzer said Rozenberg was the owner on public records of AR Medical in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, but he didn't control the finances. Rozenberg conducted "cursory medical evaluations, fabricated patients' symptoms, falsely diagnosed extensive soft tissue injuries, and referred patients for prolonged, unnecessary treatment and testing,'' Spitzer said.

Inna Polack, 36, of Staten Island who has no health provider license but secretly owned the clinic and ordered medical services, Spitzer said.

Other major indictments include charges against Shaun "Prince'' Robinson, 36, of Brooklyn, Natalya Shvartsman, 47, of Brooklyn, and also indicted on enterprise corruption charges are the corporations Mighty Management and Mighty Management Group of Brooklyn. Both are owned by Polack.
