A 56-year-old German man who tried to fake his own death in a staged boating accident on the Baltic Sea has been sentenced to more than three years in prison. The sentence came after being convicted of 14 counts of attempted insurance fraud. The man’s wife, meanwhile, was sentenced to two years’ probation on Wednesday for her role in the scheme. The couple allegedly faked the man’s death in a boating accident in the Bay of Kiel in October 2019 in a bid to collect ransom.
A fake death man planned to collect about 4 million euros (4.4 million dollars) in life and accident insurance payouts. After staging the man’s supposed death, the couple hid out for months, first in Hamburg and then in the central German town of Schwarmsted
