CAGLIARI. The Nas carabinieri follow the trail traced by the drugs to reach the possible suppliers of the ten doctors of the Villa Santa Rita nursing home, reported for receiving and administering medicines that expired after an inspection. Meanwhile, the director general of San Giovanni di Dio Ninni Murru is studying the elements that have emerged against the head of ophthalmology Maurizio Fossarello, who could be suspended from service next week.
For Fossarello, the report to the Public Prosecutor's Office for the crime of fraud against the public health service was also triggered together with the medical director of the clinic, Francesco Sias: among the doctors employed at Santa Rita, he is the only one to have broken the exclusive relationship with the University and it is also for this reason that he risks suspension. But the investigation is far from over: the military, under the command of Captain Giovanni De Iorgi, are working on the Aifa database (national drug agency) to reconstruct the route of the drugs 'for hospital use only' found at Santa Rita, Sias and the other doctors heard by the carabinieri refused to provide any explanation. The official tracking allows you to establish the origin of the packages, numbered one by one, from the manufacturer to the local warehouse. But from the filing onwards it is impossible to know which direction they have taken. There are therefore two hypotheses: the first is that the doctors, probably only some of those reported, have stolen the drugs from the hospitals where they work to use them illegally at the Santa Rita clinic. The other hypothesis is that it was a deposit that supplied them, perhaps that sold them, in violation of the obligation to allocate them exclusively to public hospitals. One thing is certain: the Nas carabinieri did not find any invoices in the accounting documents of the nursing home in via Mates 50, nothing that demonstrates any purchase of the drugs found by Nas. This seems to demonstrate that not only did they arrive through illegal channels because they could not be used by a private care facility, but also that no one paid for them. And considering that any deposit holder would have no interest in giving away medicines, the most plausible hypothesis is that they were stolen from hospitals, exactly as the carabinieri claim in the report sent to the authorities and signed by the provincial commander Loris Anchesi. Where the list is headed by Francesco Sias, medical director and administrator of the nursing home. Therefore responsible for purchases, supplies, any commercial activity related to the services offered by Santa Rita. The Nas also accuse him of receiving stolen goods, as if to say that the origin of the drugs used on the patients in the nursing home is considered illicit in any case. Not necessarily the proceeds of a theft, but still outside the legal channels. But for doctors who work in the public service, if they really have stolen medicines from hospitals, the accusation of embezzlement could be triggered.
I will be the continuation of the investigation, which ended up in the hands of the deputy prosecutor Danilo Tronci, to establish whether all the ten doctors reported by Nas have direct responsibilities in this matter or not. Above all, the carabinieri will try to find out if other characters linked to the world of public and private health may appear around this drug trafficking.
With Siss and Fiaroello the doctors involved so far in the NAS investigation are the anesthesiologist Salvatore Farci (53 years old), the ophthalmologists Vittorio Murtas (53) and Massimo D'Atri (58), the doctor Maria Teresa Ogno (51), the surgeon of the digestive system Riccardo Loi (46), the aesthetic surgeon Ettore Casale (43), the Maristella war doctor (40).
