Former La. Insurance Department Employee Enters Guilty Plea on Bribery Charge

Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr. reported that Regina Duncan, a former employee with the Louisiana Department of Insurance, recently pled guilty to one count of public bribery.

Duncan, of Baton Rouge, was arrested in December 2003 for taking bribes to sell agent licenses to individuals not legally qualified. Pursuant to the plea agreement, Duncan was placed on two years active supervised probation and fined $500.00 plus court costs.

The Attorney General’s Office is a member of the Louisiana Insurance Fraud Task Force, which includes the Louisiana Department of Insurance and the Louisiana State Police Insurance Fraud Unit.

“I am pleased that we were able to reach this plea agreement,” Foti said. “This case is a great example of state agencies working together to bring criminals to justice.”
