A new indictment arrives for Alba Veronica Puddu, the doctor of Tertenia already on trial in the Court of Assizes in Cagliari for voluntary homicide, circumvention of incapable and fraud, for having treated patients suffering from cancer with ultrasound, then died.
The offenses contested in this new trial are aggravated fraud and personal injury for non-fatal pathologies. The gup of the Court of Lanusei sent her to trial, setting the first hearing for April 22, 2022.
Doctor Puddu, already suspended from the Nuoro medical order, would have treated pathologies such as thyroiditis and gastritis with ultrasound, but during the probative accident the coroner Ernesto D'Aloja had established that these treatments not only had no effect but in one case they would have even aggravated the patient's condition due to the suspension of traditional treatments.
This second batch of accusations will not be debated together with those of the trial opened in Cagliari on April 26, the gup of the Lanusei Court rejected the prosecution's request to bring everything together in a single trial.
The woman's lawyers, Michele Zuddas and Nicola Oggiano, had asked not to proceed.
