Robert Giller, the owner and president of Advanced Automotive Concepts Inc. in Peabody, has been arraigned in connection with collecting more than $28,000 in fraudulent insurance claims for work allegedly performed at his automotive and glass companies, according to Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office.
Giller was charged with insurance fraud (20 counts), larceny over $250 by false pretence (18 counts), and attempted larceny (two counts), according to a statement. It is alleged that from January 2006 through December 2009, Giller perpetrated a scheme in which he made false statements on invoices and other records that he submitted to insurers to collect payments for work that was not performed on motor vehicles.
Giller entered a plea of not guilty at Essex Superior Court and was released on personal recognizance. He is due back in court on Feb. 22.
