Constantin Iosca, from Scholar's Walk, Lusk, Co Dublin, was suing the Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland , which compensates victims of uninsured and untraced drivers.Mr Justice Kevin Cross dismissed the proceedings and awarded costs to the defendant.

The judge had adjourned proceedings last Friday after video footage of Mr Iosca, taken by a security firm on behalf of the MIBI, was shown to the court.Mr Iosca, who is unemployed, claimed that he had suffered lower back pain, which had caused considerable disruption to his life. He said he was brought by ambulance to the emergency department at Beaumont Hospital, where he was kept overnight for observation and discharged the following day on crutches.

In another video taken in January 2019, he was shown being pushed in a wheelchair to an office in Dublin city centre and using two crutches to mount some steps into the office with assistance from others.

Send him home

Love a chancer

Too many insurance companies pay up without a fight. This is something that has to change

New Irish?

Maybe someone should break his back to make it a real claim 🤔 compoculture

Effin brilliant

Deport !!!

😂😂 what a tit

Now show the video of Bailey running 10k and Farrell playing 5aSide after they got ‘injured’ in accidents

But don't forget of course,if he is pursued for costs he will have no 'means' to pay.

Should wheel him in front of a car now give him something real to complain about

Ah I wish I could have seen his reaction when shown this video 🤣

Making cyclists look bad

I read as far as bicycle and began to doubt the tale.

Retract his visa or whatever documentation he is here under and toss him out of the country...

About time ppl like this are caught out costing honest ppl millions he should be locked up set an example

Brilliant we need more stories like this catch the fraudsters

Being on a bicycle, that’s the part I find hard to believe. Doesn’t look like he’s from around here either. Must be a ‘refugee’.

Should be deported

Sue him for all expenses related to his case.

It's not the first time he's been involved in something sketchy involving a wheelchair.

A real 'wheeler dealer' deport him.

That would be hilarious if he wasn't increasing everybody's insurance premiums and blocking up the courts with fraudulent claims.

A culture of crash for cash.

I wonder has he a disabled badge also. Maybe the DDAI and Gardai could investigate but I won't lose any sleep over it.

Lock him up

Video proofs nothing . If he as claiming he is paralyzed they would have a point. The fact that the guy is walking his dog lifting his wheelchairs doesnt mean he is not in serious pain. The cameraman is a stalker .

Should this guy not get criminally charged on this ?

Lazarus strikes again 🤔🤔🤔

newtotheparish newirish insurancecrisis

Shud b thrown in jail the tramp

Surely a case for the Gardai to get involved? If not, why not?

Only the tip of the iceberg, these criminals are everywhere not all are foreign. Plenty home grown scammers too.

Evidence didn't stand up in court. But he did at home..

Was it his kid that fell off a stage in Donegal and got 35 large ?

He should do time. Would put an end to our claims culture.

Would he need legs for white water rafting up there in Dublin ?

Serious back pain from carrying that Belly!

He must be underage. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same old. Claim culture.

I'm surprised the courts didn't just throw a load of money at him anyway.

Deport the fraudster back home.

Why is he not been charged with fraud. 5 years would put anyone off falsifying a claim

Another Romanian

karlhenrypt Watching that video, he's clearly quite able. However, it's imporrant to remember that not all wheelchair users completely lack mobility. Often people with chronic pain or fatigue may use wheelchairs for long distances or during relapses. It may enable them to function!

He should be charged with conspiracy to defraud

cyclists at it again!

Should have wheeled him out of court and into the Liffey .

Will he have to pay solicitor fees back now as it wasted court time ? A fucking Audi outside his house ffs !

As my dad used to say ‘dirty eejit’ 😡😡😡

The poor man.

Iv arthritis in my spine suffer good an bad days but looking at the footage that man is a fraud an the reason our insurance keeps rising . Absolute shame on him

newtotheparish

Is there not a criminal fraud case here, shouldn’t that muppet be charged and brought to court as the defendant this time. And I’ll add, if he is an immigrant (yes I’m making some assumptions here) he should be deported if convicted.

Do the insurance Industry have a database of claimant s

Ah 'new to the parish' ?

An absolute disgrace. Should be arrested and fined or do jail time for fraud. We are the best country in the world for scumbags.

Imagine him on a swing!!!

Nice Audi he's driving, how can he afford that?

Why can’t he be charged for perjury?

Gobshite. Delighted

Have had really bad back for over a year and o still play 5 a side and walk. Being in pain does not equate to totally crippled.

GOOD sue the f*ck outta that pr*ck😤 Ppl like him are destroying Ireland with their fake claims😡 it should be made a criminal offence & heavy fines for those caught lying, it might stop so much fake claims going through

I have no cartilage left in my knee. My lower back is in constant pain. Doctors insist walking is essential. Just because you not paralysed doesn't mean you're not in pain.

Poor man, a career in cycling down the drain.
