A Slovenian woman’s scheme for collecting a $1.2 million insurance payout has backfired horribly.
According to Newser, 22-year-old Julija Adlesic showed up at a local hospital last year, claiming she’d cut off her hand while she was cutting tree branches.
But according to Newser, she didn’t bring the hand along to the hospital with her, in an apparent attempt to keep doctors from being able to reattach it.
Eventually, what a Ljubjana court found was that Adlesic cut off her own left hand with a circular saw.
She’s been sentenced to two years in jail for insurance fraud.
