The Louisiana Department of Insurance announced that two department employees were arrested for Public Bribery and Conspiracy to Commit Public Bribery. In February 2001 the Louisiana State Police Insurance Fraud Unit received information from the LDI Fraud Unit and the Arkansas Department of Insurance concerning the sale of Louisiana insurance agent licenses. An investigation confirmed the original complaint and discovered additional evidence that agents were illegally obtaining continuing education credits needed for license renewal. As of mid-December 2003 nine individuals had been identified as having illegally purchased licenses to sell insurance in Louisiana. An additional eight legally licensed Louisiana agents had been arrested for their participation in the scheme to obtain licenses and/or continuing education credits. Two employees of the LDI Licensing Division, Regina Duncan of Baton Rouge and Lylia Jackson of Baton Rouge, were charged with facilitating the sale of insurance licenses. The Insurance Fraud Task Force is continuing its investigation into agents who have illegally obtained continuing education credits and have filed documents with LDI for license renewal.
