The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud gave Los Angeles County assistant district attorney Albert H. MacKenzie the Prosecutor of the Year Award.

MacKenzie heads the Fraud Interdiction Program, which began in 2006 in the Los Angeles District Attorney's office. It is a partnership with California's tax agency, the Franchise Tax Board, plus numerous insurers and law-enforcement agencies.

MacKenzie's program earned 15 convictions in the 2007 fiscal year involving swindlers who made more than $20 million in bogus claims. His conviction rate was 100 percent. He also has opened investigations of, or has identified, more than 200 other suspects who've made at least $300 million in bogus claims in health, auto and workers compensation insurance.
