Fifteen people have been arrested on suspicion of fraudulently extracting millions of shekels from the National Insurance Institute and insurance companies. Among the suspects are several high-ranking doctors.

Among those detained for questioning are a resident of Kfar Saba and a resident of Rishon Letzion, who are suspected of having staged car accidents order to claim insurance money.

They are also suspected of having bribed doctors to receive falsified medical documents.
