New evidence emerges fake doctor, who, although he was a physiotherapist, posed as a neurologist, deceiving patients with multiple sclerosis. The case was opened by the Thessaloniki Organized Crime Authority following a complaint by the patient’s brother, which ended in November 2020 in Menemeni, Thessaloniki.

Over the past period until today, the police have identified 15 victims of a fake doctor. Five of them ended as a result of illness, when the police opened a case against the 65-year-old false doctor not only for fraud, but also for serial murder.

The alleged perpetrator convinced his victims to stop conventional medicines which they followed and implemented stem cell therapy. For each injection of stem cells, the fake doctor charged the victims between 10,000 and 30,000 euros. Previously, he gave them preparations of amino acids (“peptides”), which, he claimed, prepared the body for the reception and absorption of stem cells. For each bottle of peptides, he collected about 200 euros.

However, neuroscientists who were asked about this in the context of the study clarified that amino acids have no use in Medicine. The doctor said that the treatment of multiple sclerosis with stem cells is in the experimental stage in Israel, but clarified that the stem cells come from the patient’s own body, and not from the placenta of a pregnant woman or a horse. as the fake doctor told his victims.

New data on the operation of a false doctor who promised to cure patients with multiple sclerosis.

The alleged perpetrator who runs a physiotherapy clinic in East Attica worked with a doctor in Germany. To lend credibility to the scam, he accompanied patients to Germany for supposedly specialized tests. However, when the police showed the doctors the results of his patients’ tests, they specified that they were brain tests, similar to those carried out by the diagnostic centers in Athens and Thessaloniki.

Some patients, and mostly their relatives, who were examined by the police, pointed out that the fake doctor did not show receipts, and when he did under duress, he was listed as a physiotherapist in tax returns, and not a neurologist.

The victims who pointed this out to him were told that he was doing it for tax reasons and that he specialized in the US himself. In order not to reveal the fraud, he asked his victims “not to talk too much.” To justify his admonition, he told them that this particular treatment harmed the interests of the pharmaceutical companies and that was why they were persecuting him.

The case file regarding the 65-year-old has already been handed over to the investigator and publication of his photo and details is expected, since it is assumed that the number of his victims is much higher. However, he is in Attica and his German accomplice is in Cape Town, South Africa, where he is said to have settled in recent years.
