为了骗取赔偿金，一位荷兰牙科医生不惜上演了一场苦肉计。不久前，他将自己的一根手指砍断并伪造了车祸现场，但他的这种恶劣行为最终受到了法律的严惩。

    据路透社11月3日报道，为从保险公司骗得180万欧元的赔偿金，这名现年50岁的牙医在比利时境内先是弄断其一根手指，然后又使其驾驶的汽车撞到了一棵树上。他希望通过这些举动使保险公司相信是方向盘失灵引发的这起事故。但他食指断裂处的形状，血液内所含麻醉剂的水平以及车祸现场毫无刹车痕迹都说明此事并非这么简单。

    对此，当地一家法庭的发言人表示：“这并不是一起车祸，而是他给自己做了一次截肢手术，当然也有可能是他请别人代劳的。”根据该法庭11月3日的裁决，这位牙医将被罚款2.5万欧元，并处以6个月的监禁缓期执行以及240小时的社区服务。

    A Dutch dentist who chopped off his finger and then faked a car crash before claiming 1.8 million euros from insurers was given a suspended sentence and fined by a court on Thursday.

    The man, aged 50, mutilated himself and crashed his car into a tree in Belgium in the hope of convincing insurers that the steering wheel had inflicted the injury, the court said.

    However, the shape of the cut on his index finger, the level of anaesthetic in his blood and the absence of skid marks on the road suggested otherwise.

    "It was not an accident but an amputation he carried out himself, or he had someone do it for him," a court spokeswoman said.

    The dentist was fined 25,000 euros and received a six-month suspended jail sentence with 240 hours community service.
