A man who fabricated car crashes in order to claim thousands of pounds from insurance companies has been jailed for 10 months.
Leeds Crown Court heard how Motondo, 40, who preached at a Pentecostal church in Leeds, bought policies using personal details of two people in his congregation and then rang insurers posing as them.
Motondo admitted fraud and money laundering.
Police said Motondo “was completely immoral in his actions.”
An investigation was initiated by the City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department after suspicions were raised.
Motondo pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud by misrepresentation and one count of possessing criminal proceeds.
