Fake prescriptions in exchange for sex

A mistrial. A doctor and a scientific informant were accused of prescribing false medical prescriptions in exchange for money and sexual services. The two Sardinian professionals had ended up in the investigation conducted by the Dda of the capital two years ago. [on the right the Palace of Justice in Rome]

They had ended up in the meshes of a maxi investigation by the Rome prosecutor's office into a whirlwind round of false medical prescriptions, which would have been prescribed, in exchange for money and sexual services, for the sole purpose of increasing the sales of a drug sponsored by a pharmaceutical company Lazio.

PROSCIOLTI. In recent days, however, the Gip of the Capitoline Court acquitted one of the two Cagliari professionals involved, Walter Boi, 51, a scientific informant, with a reasoning that leaves no room for doubt: the defense investigations revealed certain proof of his total extraneousness to the facts. The other – Marco Carta, 52, an esteemed gynecologist at the Santissima Trinità hospital – had instead left the scene even earlier, given that for him it was the same deputy prosecutor Giancarlo Capaldo who had asked for the dismissal of the charges, ratified last year by the Gip.

DECISIVE TEST. A test in front of which the Gip of Rome had released Boi after two months under house arrest, simultaneously rejecting the request for suspension from the profession that the Roman prosecutors had requested for Carta. And which then led to the dismissal of the charges for the gynecologist and, three days ago, in the hearing in which many of the other 90 suspects were indicted, to the sentence of no place to proceed for the medicines representative: both victims – now it's official – of a sensational judicial error.
