He was not working alone, authorities said. Two of his relatives also were implicated: a 50-year-old woman who posed as a dental technician and a 44-year-old man who manufactured dentures. The illegitimate clinic was operated by the latter from his home.
Medical supplies from healthcare jobs
The woman, who worked in the health industry, had access to anaesthetics and dental materials, including fillings, which she employed for the unlawful operation. The setup was made to look like a real dental office, fooling dozens of patients over the last two years.
Although illegal in the country, at least one patient told local media that she had a good experience. She said the clinic was "totally normal" and had only praise for the fake dentist: "There is not a bad word I can say about him. At this point, he was a nice person, and I'm very happy with the teeth that he did."
Charges Include Money Laundering, Over €160,000 Profited
The three men allegedly made at least €160, 000 from their criminal endeavours. They are now charged on several counts, including running a business without a licence and money laundering. The woman is charged with theft. All three have admitted to the crime and were released from initial questioning by police.
