WHAT IS DOCUMENTED

What this case shows.

A CLOSER LOOK

The context behind the claim.

The broadcaster reports more than a hundred clients treated and complications in several women. These case details rest here on journalism, not an inspected judgment; general regulatory guidance on injection risks does not establish individual guilt.

Responses and open questions

According to the broadcaster, prosecutors sought a longer sentence and appealed. No defence statement was found in the reviewed case source; a subsequent outcome has not been verified here.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Making a more informed decision.

Request verifiable qualifications and treatment authorisation, plus transparent information on the product, suitability, risks, consent, conflicts of interest and complaint routes. Ask the relevant health authority to clarify uncertain authorisation before treatment. Seek emergency medical help immediately for visual symptoms or difficulty breathing or swallowing after an injection.

The starting point of the investigation.
