Iesia doctor Dan Tesloianu, who is being investigated in the case of medical devices installed without complying with the law, has been placed under house arrest, the magistrates of the Court of Appeal of Bucharest decided on Friday evening, News.ro reports. The decision of the magistrates of Bucharest is final.

The decision of the judges was confirmed to News.ro by lawyer Marius Todeanka, who defends doctor Tesloyana.

Cardiologist Dan Tesloyanu from the Saint Spyridon Hospital in Iasi was arrested on February 18 in the case of installing medical devices without complying with the law. Later, by the decision of the judges, he was placed in custody.

Doctor Tesloyana is accused of installing at least 238 such devices since 2017, some of which were taken from dead people, others of unknown origin, although this is prohibited by law.

Prosecutors also say that some operations were not necessary, but the doctor offered his patients drugs that would cause certain symptoms and thus lead to the operation.

The Prosecutor General’s Office later announced that it had continued criminal proceedings against two doctors and a former head of the hospital in the case of cardiac pacemakers recovered from corpses.

The prosecutor’s office seized several items and cash.

The victims include Dr. Antoniou Petris, former head of the cardiology clinic at Sfântul Spiridon Iasi Hospital, as well as Ioan Barliba, the former head of the hospital.
