Riva Ligure
Conviction in court in Imperia for Roberto Santi, a 71-year-old anti-vax doctor from Sestri Levante, for a false certification made for a little girl from Riva Ligure. The facts date back to 28 April 2021 when, still in the Covid era, the doctor had provided the little girl’s mother (she was just three years old at the time) with a certificate certifying that “she had a pathology that makes her incompatible with the use of the “mask” device in a prolonged and continuous manner”. All this, according to the findings of the Imperia prosecutor’s office, without having subjected the patient to an examination or viewed medical documentation but simply on the basis of a telephone conversation with the parents. The trial which ended yesterday saw Santi sentenced to six months for forgery, with the sentence suspended on conditional terms. Judge Marta Maria Bossi increased the sentence that the public prosecution had requested at the end of the indictment, two months.
It was the nursery school that had detected the anomaly in the medical certificate presented, for a very young girl, by a specialist in gastroenterology and preventive medicine who lived on the other side of Liguria from the patient (strange that mum and dad did not were referred to a pediatrician).
