A court has ruled that a man deliberately put himself in the path of a train that cut off both his leg so he could claim a $3.2 million insurance payout.
The man, named only as Sandor Cs due to privacy laws, lost both of his legs after they were run over by a train in Nyircsaszari, Hungry in 2014.
He is said to have taken out fourteen high-risk life insurance policies in the year prior to the incident, Ladbible reports.
Despite the court’s ruling that Sandor’s incident was deliberate, he has claimed his he is innocent.
Sandor insisted that he ended up on the tracks as he had stepped on a shard of glass that caused him to fall in front of the moving train.
He also claimed he had been financially advised to take the fourteen insurance policies out prior to the incident.
