KINGSTON – An Ulster County grand jury indicted a Milton man on several felony counts of insurance fraud, grand larceny, criminal possession of a forged instrument and falsifying business records.
The grand jury charged that between January 11, 2012 and December 13, 2013, Robert Bari defrauded AFLAC Insurance Company by submitting several fraudulent disability claim forms that resulted in him receiving benefits he was not entitled to receive. It is further alleged that between December 10, 2012 and September 15, 2013, he defrauded AFLAC by submitting fraudulent policy applications and received commissions from AFLAC which he was not entitled to receive.
“Integrity and honesty must be at the core of how insurance agents conduct themselves,” said state Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo. The investigation revealed that Bari “engaged in a deliberate pattern of illegal activities aimed solely at fraudulently enriching himself.”
