A Minnesota man who said his camper was lit on fire because it had a Trump 2020 flag on it pleaded guilty to starting the fire himself and then filing fraudulent insurance claims Tuesday, federal prosecutors announced.
In September 2020, Denis Vladmirovich Molla falsely reported to police that someone set his camper ablaze and vandalized his garage door with graffiti that said “BLM,” “Biden 2020” and an anarchy symbol associated with Antifa, U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger said in . Molla, 30, told authorities he saw three unknown males near his property when he heard an explosion.that they were asleep in their home with their 2-year-old son and their 5-month-old daughter at the time of the incident. Emergency crews also helped rescue three dogs and four puppies from the home amid the fire, which burned down a detached garage and totaled three vehicles.
"In reality, Molla started his own property on fire and spray painted the graffiti on his own garage," the news release said. Molla then submitted multiple insurance claims totaling $300,000 for damages caused to his property by the camper fire and vandalism. Some claims were denied, the U.S. Department of Justice said. He received $61,000 from his insurance company, and threatened to report the company to authorities when it denied some of his claims, the DOJ said.
