Appeals court upholds neurosurgeon’s conviction for selling free consumables

Appeals filed by a neurosurgeon and his wife against their conviction for selling medical consumables to a patient that are provided free have been thrown out by the appeals court.

The appeals court in its decision, taken on March 31 and made public on Monday, upheld their convictions, dismissing all allegations that their right to a fair trial had been violated.

The appeals court did, however, reduce the doctor’s sentences due to an error in calculating the maximum sentence.
