According to prosecutors, he administered high doses of morphine and other sedatives to an 82-year-old woman in May 2019, leading to her death. He is also accused of ending the treatment of a 20-year-old leukemia patient in June 2020, despite the absence of immediate life-threatening conditions, and administering lethal drugs to a 71-year-old man in March 2025 who was in a medically induced coma. His defense attorney claims the doctor acted within medical standards and that the patients were nearing the end of their lives.
