Two New Doctors Charged in Corpse Pacemaker Extraction Scandal

This report covers two new doctors charged with key details and context.

The scandal over pacemakers illegally extracted from corpses has widened further. Two more doctors—a primary cardiologist from Iași and a cardiologist from Brașov—have been indicted in the same case, according to investigators.

The Iași doctor works at the Cardiology Clinic of a local hospital, while the Brașov doctor is a cardiologist at a hospital in that city. They are accused of abuse of office in connection with the unauthorized removal of cardiac pacemakers from deceased patients.

The indictment follows an earlier probe that uncovered a network allegedly involved in harvesting pacemakers from cadavers for reuse or sale. Prosecutors have not released further details at this stage.

The case has shocked the public and raised serious questions about medical ethics and oversight in Romanian hospitals.
