A British man has been given a 6-month jail sentence and fined CHF 100,000 for pretending to be a doctor and treating patients for cancer.
The 70-year-old was working out of a clinic in Bussigny in canton Vaud between 2014 and 2015.
He treated 63 people, all of which were also British, who were suffering from cancer – often at an advanced stage.
He prescribed questionable and unproven products, many of which were manufactured under poor hygienic conditions.
The court in Lausanne sentenced the man in absentia as he is in the UK.
His lawyer says he’s too ill to travel.
