A surgeon from Sevastopol with false qualifications will be tried

April 15, 2023

The doctor is accused of stealing money from the hospital budget. The case was initiated under the Large Scale Fraud Section.

The investigation believes that in the fall of 2020, the man provided a false higher qualification certificate to the personnel department. He bought a “book” for three thousand rubles in the hope that he could receive the appropriate payments.

Until the fall of 2022, a doctor received a bonus of 24% of his salary for false diplomas. And so he stole 290 thousand rubles. Now he faces up to six years in prison. During the investigation, he refunded the full amount. The prosecutor’s office approved the finding and sent the case back to court, the department said.
