Man withdraws injury claims after photos of him lugging suitcases onto coach emerge

An Irish-based Latvian national has withdrawn personal injury claims for €120,000 against insurance companies and two of their customers after having been secretly photographed lugging suitcases onto a coach he drove while claiming he was unfit for work, writes Ray Managh.

Janis Kapteinis, a fan of both soccer and Irish President Michael D. Higgins who he is proudly pictured embracing on his Facebook page, abandoned two €60,000 damages claims in the Circuit Civil Court following forensic questioning by top insurance lawyers.
