Ermittler haben in Bayern einen 71-jährigen Arzt wegen des Verdachts des Abrechnungsbetrugs in Millionenhöhe festgenommen. Das teilte die Bayerische Zentralstelle zur Bekämpfung von Betrug und Korruption im Gesundheitswesen mit.
Um abzukassieren, fälschte er Apothekenstempel. Er räumte Vorwürfe teilweise ein.

Overview

  • Investigators allege the Miesbach physician issued 159 self-prescriptions between November 2020 and July 2025, forged pharmacy stamps and submitted falsified bills.
  • According to authorities, the medications were neither collected from pharmacies nor paid for by the suspect.
  • The private insurer flagged irregular claims and referred the case to the Bavarian ZKG in Nuremberg, leading to searches and the seizure of numerous data carriers.
  • A court-ordered asset arrest resulted in the seizure of jewelry worth more than €220,000 and the suspect’s car.
  • The doctor has partially admitted the allegations, with an arrest warrant suspended in favor of a reporting obligation, and prosecutors also cite a suspected weapons-law violation after two brass knuckles were found.
