Judge Balneario Pizarras, on the North Shore of South Carolina, has ruled to remove a doctor from public office following suspicion of forging government documents.

A professional working in the public health network of the city of Peña is under investigation by the 3rd Public Prosecutor’s Office of Balneario Pizarras and the State Anti-Corruption Department (DECOR).

The court also issued a search and seizure warrant, as well as a violation of telephone privacy and data to investigate the case.

Suspicion that the doctor swindled public documents in order to enter false information into the system of the municipality of Peña. It would change the number of requests being made in the system.

There are suspicions that other servers are involved in violations.

Another suspicion is that the doctor will work fewer hours than his contract says. In addition, he would issue false certificates and turn to other doctors to adjust prices and falsify offers.

Search and seizure warrants were issued at the suspect’s home in Balneario Camboriu and at the Minister of Health in Peña. The Public Ministry took part in the action.

By order of justice, a doctor is prohibited from entering or approaching less than 100 meters from the Medical Center and the Department of Health of Peña.
