Lawmaker Vladimir Hotineanu, who is a surgeon, said he will sue Fiodor Ghelici for slander. “Ghelici tells lies. He is a slanderer,” the MP stated for IPN, making use of his right to reply.
In a news conference at IPN, Fiodor Ghelici accused Vladimir Hotineanu of operating his brother-in-law on the stomach without performing examinations and of asking then US$3,600 from the family for services. Several months after undergoing surgery, the man died. The family demands that the Prosecutor General’s Office deprive the lawmaker of immunity so that he can be investigated.
