Styrian in court

Fake doctor in Styrian hospital: lenient sentence

A 35-year-old Styrian man conned his way into the Knittelfeld hospital in Upper Styria as a doctor with a forged doctor's certificate. He had previously posed as a forester. Why the judge found a system failure - which led to a lenient sentence.

First forest district manager, then hospital doctor - it is an interesting career path that a 35-year-old Styrian has taken. With the not insignificant shortcoming that he has the necessary training for neither profession. The teacher dropout forged both his forestry school diploma and his doctorate certificate.
