The state department of Criminal Justice on Friday announced that a supervisor in the Stamford Water Pollution Control Bureau was arrested for alleged Workers’ Compensation fraud.
Alfred Gorenflo, 69, of Norwalk, was charged with a single count Workers’ Compensation Fraud. Penalties include up to 20 years in prison. Gorenflo allegedly collected more than $100,000 in benefits after reporting a work-related injury while inspecting a sewer main break in March 2011.
“The warrant alleges that Gorenflo misrepresented the material facts regarding his disability claim while receiving benefits and earned money drafting blueprints for a home improvement company while collecting benefits for supposedly being unable to work,” according to Chief State’s Attorney Kevin T. Kane. Gorenflo will be arraigned on April 4 in Meriden Superior Court.
This case is being prosecuted by the Worker’s Compensation Fraud Control Bureau in the Chief State’s Attorney’s Office.
