Five more individuals have pleaded guilty in connection with their role in the Louisiana staged-accident scam, bringing the total number of guilty pleas to double digits.
The guilty pleas are notable because they are the first under the direction of Duane Evans, interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Evans replaced Peter Strasser, who left office at the end of the Trump administration, an expected move when administrations change.
The five pleas bring the total number of guilty pleas to at least 13, based on FreightWaves’ review of past Justice Department news releases. Indictments in the scam have totaled more than 30. There were three separate sets of guilty pleas last year, one from December, one from October and an earlier one by defendant Damian Labeaud, the first to admit guilt.
