Ancona, 20 June 2024 – He has dental problems and turns to the dentist near his home. He couldn’t imagine that he didn’t have the license to practice. He discovered this months later when he found a sign on the door of the clinic indicating work in progress and the pseudo specialist stopped answering his phone. To the patient, a 45 year old, they remained damage to the mouth from a job startedmade up of three root canals that he shouldn’t have had and four bridges, and never finished beyond paying almost 9 thousand euros for having drawn to a loan with which she had paid everything in advance and which also included care for her husband who never started.
The couple it wouldn’t be the only prank from the self-styled dentist, a 56 year old from Ancona who later disappeared from circulation, which had started its business in via Martiri della Resistenza. After trying in vain to put an end to her ordeal, the patient and her husband filed a complaint complaint because in addition to realizing that the 56-year-old had disappeared with their money, he hadn’t even done a good job. The woman had continuous bleeding and pain that makes you unable to sleep at night and to compromise his chewing skills forever with permanent weakness. On charges of abusive practice of the profession, personal injury and fraud, the fake dentist ended up on trial before judge Maria Elena Cola.
Yesterday the wife and husband were heard in court, who were deceived, who joined the lawyer Maurizio Miranda as a civil party and are asking for compensation for patrimonial and biological damages of 32 thousand euros. “I didn’t know that dentist’s office – testified the woman, of Bolivian origin – but I had it in front of my house and so I tried. I had to do some treatment and I could pay for everything with a loan. Since I was there with my husband they asked him too if he wanted to get treatment.” The couple made two loans, one in January 2019 and the second in May 2019. “I went as far as filing my teeth and taking impressions – continued the witness – everyone called him doctor and I thought he was a real dentist. But I was constantly bleeding and crying in pain. At a certain point he closed the clinic because he had to do some work, so he showed me to another dentist but this one wanted money from me to continue. I had already paid for it. I had to go to a third dentist who told me I had a serious situation in my mouth. I couldn’t fix my teeth anymore.”
The patient he was unable to obtain other loans because he already had one underway, for 360 euros per month, which he stopped paying in January 2020, a month after the dental clinic closed (it was December 2019). In the testimony of her husband, 63 years old, from Ancona, the man explained that he had not been given any work. “I was afraid – he said in court – after I saw what they had done to my wife’s mouth. She left half of Ancona exposed”. Next hearing on November 20th. The accused is defended by the lawyer Maurizio Barbieri. The deceived couple is trying to get back money paid through the finance company but has not yet succeeded.
