Four people have been arrested and charged with defrauding the public, according to police.
Peel police say that between August 2014 and December 2019, three men and a woman were suspected of being involved in “extensive paramedical clinic schemes occurring throughout the Region of Peel.”
Police allege that the group assisted in setting up accredited professionals with clinical businesses associated with the healthcare and insurance field. After representing themselves as reputable business partners, the group then allegedly defrauded money through false insurance claims and redirected clinical funds to themselves.
The total amount defrauded is in excess of $1.06 million, police say.
Police charged two men and one woman in connection with the incident. All charges have been dropped.
