Pennsylvania attorney general’s office raids Scranton agency
Agents with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office raided the office of a Scranton, Pa., agency and the home of one of its former executives.
The Citizens Voice (Wilkes Barre, Pa.) reports that agents with search warrants issued by a Harrisburg grand jury began arriving at the office of Murray Insurance Oct. 5 as part of an ongoing investigation into possible insurance fraud. Agents also searched the nearby home of Christine M. Oliver, the report said.
Oliver, a former Murray employee, surrendered her insurance license last year after signing a consent order stating she misappropriated $500,000 in client premiums.
The search comes after the agency’s owner, Brian J. Murray, surrendered his insurance license and was forced to sell his agency by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department for failing to properly manage Oliver.
Murray recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy for himself and his business, listing individual assets and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million for himself and the agency, according to published reports.
