The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud said its first Prosecutor of the Year Award is going to a Los Angeles assistant district attorney who has prosecuted insurance swindlers using tax fraud charges of the kind used to convict Al Capone.
Assistant D.A. Albert H. MacKenzie's creative courtroom strategy “is a silver bullet in many insurance fraud cases,” said Dennis Jay, executive director of the coalition.
Mr. Jay said “suspects often quickly plead guilty when confronted with airtight tax charges. This produces more convictions, and faster, than often lengthy insurance investigations and trials.”
