The Berlin police are investigating 13 suspects who are said to have cheated an insurance company.
According to a report, a bus driver from the Berlin transport company is at the heart of the process.
The 31-year-old therefore faked eleven accidents between 2017 and 2020.
According to the police, they all occurred during empty journeys without passengers.
The man apparently drove deliberately against parked, high-priced cars. The 13 suspects are said to have demanded a total of 300,000 euros from an insurance company.
According to the police, the suspects also include motor vehicle experts.
A spokeswoman for the Berlin police could not answer questions about the actions of the suspects, the owners of the cars or the involvement of the experts.
