Gangsters in Sicily have been busted for crushing the arms and legs of victims and then collecting huge insurance payouts for injuries claimed to have been sustained in car accidents.

Police in Palermo arrested 11 suspects on Aug. 7, following an investigation into an alleged crime ring that involved complicit hospital staff and targeted individuals desperate enough to willingly submit to gruesome mutilations.
