Merced, CA (WorkersCompensation.com) - Felipe Saurez Barocio, 63, of Atwater, owner of Agriculture Services, Inc., and his daughter, Angelita Barocio-Negrete, 34, of Merced, were sentenced to 10 years after pleading no contest to six felony counts of insurance fraud each. Pursuant to Penal Code 1170(h), they will both serve six years in custody and four years on mandatory supervision. They have also been ordered to pay $2,582,142 in restitution – the amount of workers compensation insurance premium they avoided paying over five years.
Barocio and his daughter underreported employee payroll by $11 million in order to fraudulently reduce the business s premium for workers compensation insurance. The fraud potentially left employed farm workers without insurance coverage and at financial risk.
