2021: Wanted list in case of patient's death in clinic
At the end of September 2021, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation put on the international wanted list Oleg Serebryansky, head and chief physician of the Moscow clinic "Medicine 24/7." Earlier, a criminal case was initiated against this medical institution on the fact of the death of the patient.
The Basmanny Court of Moscow arrested Oleg Serebryansky in absentia. According to the court order, the Director General of Medicine 24/7 will be arrested for two months from the moment of his arrest in Russia or from the moment of extradition to the country.
According to TASS with reference to the press secretary of the court Irina Sofinskaya, the doctor is charged with committing a crime under Part 2 of Art. 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (provision of services that do not meet the requirements of the safety of life or health of consumers and resulting in negligence causing grievous bodily harm or death of a person).
Earlier, investigators found out that the clinic accepts patients not only with a heart attack, but also with an acute stroke, without having an appropriate license. At the same time, the Investigative Committee of Russia already contained citizens' appeals about the death of their relatives due to the provision of unqualified assistance, from which they also demanded to pay millions of amounts for "treatment." The TFR opened a case, and Roszdravnadzor, through arbitration, suspended the clinic for 90 days. After that, Oleg Serebryansky left Russia, writes Kommersant.
Earlier, the court arrested two doctors of the clinic - Ruslan Pavlov and Pavel Naumov - in the framework of a case on the provision of services that do not meet the requirements of the safety of life and health of consumers, committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy. As reported in the media, an elderly woman with myocardial infarction was hospitalized in the medical facility, but the clinic did not have the necessary equipment - and the patient died.[1][2]
2024: Arrest in the case of the death of the patient
On February 12, 2024, the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) indicted Oleg Serebryansky, former Director General of the Medicine 24/7 private Moscow clinic, as part of the case of the death of the patient. The man was arrested at the capital's airport upon arrival from Turkey and imprisoned in a pre-trial detention center.
According to investigators, in 2019, employees of the named clinic tried to provide medical care to an elderly woman with myocardial infarction. However, it was not possible to perform the necessary procedures in full, since the necessary equipment was missing in the medical institution. As a result, the patient died. In 2021, Serebryansky disappeared from law enforcement agencies, in connection with which he was put on the international wanted list.
On February 9, 2024, Serebryansky was detained at the airport upon arrival from the Republic of Turkey, after which he was placed in a pre-trial detention center. The necessary investigative actions are being carried out with him, the ICR said in a statement. |
Serebryansky was charged under Part 2 of Art. 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - the provision of services that do not meet safety requirements, resulting in the death of a person by negligence. Such acts are punishable up to imprisonment for up to 6 years with a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles.
Three other specialists of the Medicine 24/7 clinic are also involved in the case - the head of the anesthesiology and resuscitation department Ruslan Pavlov and resuscitation doctors Pavel Naumov and Andrei Zimin. On January 23, 2024, the Simonovsky Court of Moscow sentenced Pavlov and Naumov to three years of forced labor with a 10% deduction from wages to state income for providing services that do not meet security requirements. The court sentenced Zimin to imprisonment for a period of two years conditionally with a probationary period for the same period.[3]
