BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced a Florida woman to 15 months in prison on charges that she defrauded the Alabama-based insurance company she worked for in Florida.
U.S. District Judge C. Lynwood Smith Jr. sentenced 29-year-old Diana Bellomo of Ocala, Fla., on three counts of wire fraud and one count of mail fraud. Prosecutors said she created and submitted 259 fake insurance applications to her employer, Birmingham-based Liberty National Life Insurance Co., between March and July of 2010.
Authorities say Bellomo was managing the company's Lake Worth, Fla., branch. They say she received $83,814 in commissions on policies Liberty National issued on the fraudulent applications. Smith also ordered her to pay restitution.
She's scheduled to report to prison Sept. 29.
