Four and three years' imprisonment. These are the requests, yesterday in court in Sassari, made by prosecutor Maria Paola Asara against Antonio Vincenzo Piglioni, a doctor by profession, and Anna Loredana Derudas, his secretary in the Porto Torres office, accused of abusive practice of the profession, forgery, aggravated fraud, interruption of public service and fraud in public supplies.
The conduct would have taken place in the clinic around 2013 - the Nas investigation dates back to 2015 - and, according to the accusation, the woman would have filled out prescriptions and certificates without consulting the doctor and prescribing tests without having the expertise.
In this way, underlines the magistrate, "patients run great risks also because the advice he gave was substantially wrong".
The doctor, on the other hand, according to the accusation, would have drawn up false certificates of sporting fitness or illness and, as the prosecutor recalls one case, "without visiting a patient he would have him tell him how many days he needed". The NAS investigations are also supported by telephone interceptions which, in the prosecution's opinion, confirm the investigative framework. The prosecutor instead requested acquittal because the fact does not exist for fraud in public supplies, interruption of public service and aggravated fraud for Antonio Vincenzo Piglioni, for fraud and interruption of public service for Loredana Anna Derudas.
Judge Monia Adami ordered the discussion of the defenses, with the lawyers Gabriele Satta and Federica Chironi, at the end of October.
