California Bank Manager Charged with Workers’ Comp Fraud

Aurora Barrera, 33, of Downey was arrested on charges related to her allegedly submitting a fraudulent workers’ compensation claim for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder associated with a robbery, that she actually assisted in staging, at a bank where she worked as an assistant bank manager. "This conspiracy led to a major law enforcement response, including the bomb squad," said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. "It’s shocking to think that, Barrera, a trusted financial institution manager would be a co-conspirator in a bank robbery and staged kidnapping, and then have the audacity to file a bogus workers’ comp claim for traumatic stress and believe she could get away with it."
