JUST one month after Adeje’s International Beauty Life celebrated its first anniversary, the “doctor” who runs the clinic has been accused of being a fraud.
Daniele TS, who claims to be a doctor of medicine and surgery was arrested by the National Police last Friday at the Callao Salvaje centre and questioned overnight.
The 39-year-old Italian was released on Saturday after being named as a formal suspect (imputed) on counts of criminal deception, falsification of public documents, masquerading as a doctor, and committing acts against public health.
Judge Nelson Díaz Frías, at theArona Court, rejected public prosecutor requests to remand him in custody, although his passport has been confiscated while the case is investigated, and he must report to the police every Friday.
Yet Daniele TS’s lawyer insists his client was released without bail, and that the prosecutor failed to prove that anyone had been cheated.
Placido Alonso Peña said the “doctor” has been charged on suspicion of “professional intrusion” only, and he added that the police had not provided any documentation to support the accusations.
Three former patients at the clinic, who were treated by the Italian, are believed to have denounced the doctor to the National Police.
And it is also alleged that there have been several complaints of fraud amounting to almost 700,000 euros, according to police sources.
The incident is said to have shocked staff at the private health centre in Callao Salvaje, which specialises in cosmetic surgery. But it intends to remain open.
A statement issued by the company group read: “This does not affect in any way the rest of the staff at the centre. They are continuing with their work, with no links or connection to what has occurred.”
Rodrigo Martín, President of the Provincial College of Doctors, told local press: “While we do have to wait for justice to be seen to be done, this case is the most serious I have come across in my time as president.”
