<p>Ali F. Elmezayen, 44, allegedly killed his two children, ages 8 and 13, when he drove his car off of a Los Angeles wharf. Elmezayen had purchased “several accidental death insurance policies” amounting to $6 million covering himself, his kids and his domestic partner, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/hawthorne-man-charged-federal-case-alleging-scheme-collect-insurance-proceeds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Central California.<br />
He paid $6,000 a year to maintain that coverage, despite earning less that $30,000 a year.<br />
On April 9, 2015 – two years and 12 days after he bought the last of his insurance policies – Elmezayen drove a car with his partner and two youngest children off a wharf at the Port of Los Angeles. Elmezayen swam out the open driver’s side window of the car. His partner, who did not know how to swim, survived when a nearby fisherman threw her a flotation device. The two children, ages 8 and 13, were unable to escape the car and drowned.</p>

<p>The defendant prosecutors said then collected more than $260,000 in insurance proceeds from American General Life Insurance and Mutual of Omaha Life Insurance on the accidental death insurance policies he had taken out on the children’s lives.<br />
He also impersonated his domestic partner in communications with the insurance companies without her knowledge. He proceeded to make several false statements, including stating that the cause of his children’s deaths was accidental and that he had no other insurance policies on his children.<br />
“The defendant is accused of orchestrating a scheme to defraud insurance companies by taking the lives of his vulnerable young sons,” said Paul Delacourt, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “The defendant faces serious consequences as we seek justice on their behalf.”<br />
“This case alleges a calculated and cold-hearted scheme to profit off the deaths of two helpless children,” said United States Attorney Nick Hanna.<br />
“The alleged conduct shocks the conscience, and we will use every tool available to us to ensure that justice is done.”<br />
Though the alleged crime happened in April 2015, Elmezayen wasn’t arrested until last week when the FBI made its move.</p>

<p>The criminal complaint specifically charges Elmezayen with mail fraud, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for posing as his domestic partner in calls to the insurance companies.</p>

<p>“This case alleges a calculated and cold-hearted scheme to profit off the deaths of two helpless children,” United States Attorney Nick Hanna said. “The alleged conduct shocks the conscience, and we will use every tool available to us to ensure that justice is done.”<br />
The case was initially not prosecuted because of “insufficient evidence,” according to an <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Hawthorne-Man-Charged-With-Insurance-Fraud-Linked-To-Childrens-Drowning-500402391.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC</a> report that says the defendant, in addition to criminal charges, could serve 20 years in prison for each count of insurance fraud.<br />
At the conclusion of a detention hearing Tuesday in Los Angeles, Judge Alka Sagar ruled the defendant a flight risk and a danger to his now former partner and remaining child, &#8211; on whose lives he continues to pay large insurance premiums. Elmezayen who was born in Egypt, but has no legal status in the United States, has access to &#8220;significant financial resources&#8221; in his native country, judge Sagar said.<br />
&#8220;The risk of flight is a serious one in this case,&#8221; the judge said from the bench, adding that Elmezayen poses a &#8220;risk of danger to the mother of his children and his oldest child.&#8221;</p>
