A court in the capital Ljubljana found that Julija Adlesic, 22, had taken out five insurance policies in the year before her injury. She had claimed it happened as she cut branches.
Adlesic stood to gain more than €1m (£900,000, $1.16m) in payouts.
She now faces two years in prison, while her boyfriend has been given a three-year sentence.
Adlesic and a number of relatives were arrested in 2019 after she arrived in hospital with her hand cut off above the wrist.
The court found that she and her boyfriend had intentionally left the severed hand behind rather than bringing it with them to ensure the disability was permanent. However, authorities recovered it in time to sew it back on.
Prosecutors said the woman's boyfriend had also made internet searches about artificial hands in the days beforehand.
Prosecutors said this was proof that the injury was intentional.
Adlesic's boyfriend's father was also given a one-year suspended sentence.
Throughout the trial, Adlesic had denied intentionally cutting off her hand.
Had the fraudulent claim been successful, the couple would have received more than half a million euros as a lump sum, with the rest paid in monthly instalments.

The length some women would go for men and money
ReplyDeleteThe lengths humans will go just for money!
ReplyDeleteWomen + Greed + foolishness mixes very well, just like water and milk.
ReplyDeleteThe boyfriend would have cornered the money for himself and not even marry her in the first instance.
Folly, folly, folly.
😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
Now she's left without a hand, without the money and in prison.
ReplyDeleteShe has a hand, the hand was found ans sewed back.
Deleteinflicting pains on yaself.. Na waooo
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked ooo
ReplyDeleteI don’t understand how she could effectively self inflict, the way she did. The pain and bleeding nko? Things people do for money.. She should be blacklisted by all the insurance companies. Same way if someone gets too many car accidents, the insurance companies increases your rate but after another one, they all dump the person.
ReplyDeleteThey need to dump this crook.
Reminds me of people who do car insurance fraud.
ReplyDeleteSome people are good at causing fender benders and get wheeled to the ER. Meanwhile, they caused the accident on purpose. They suddenly stop when driving so the person behind has no time to react but hit them from behind. Thieves plenty sha.
She might be a victim of coercive control by boyfriend and his father.
ReplyDeleteU see we women, doing mumu from time immemorial. Why didn’t the man cut off his own hand???
ReplyDeleteBecause she loves him too much
DeleteJesus Christ! Oturugbeke! Na wao, how far some people go to scam others....E shock me ooooo
ReplyDeleteBut look how the boyfriend convinced her to cut off her own hand and keep his. Now he will drop her for a woman with two hands and she will still be broke and no hand. Ridamndiculous.
ReplyDeleteAll for the love of MONEY.
