The confirmation judge issued the following decision in the so-called Medicus case:

The indictment is confirmed against L.D., D.J., S.H. and I.R. with regard to the counts of unlawful exercise of medical activity and abusing official position or authority.

The indictment is dismissed with regard to the counts of trafficking in persons and organized crime. The prosecution has said it will appeal the ruling where the indictment was not confirmed.

The indictment was returned in part back to the prosecutor in order for him to specify some factual details regarding two further defendants and concerning an additional account of unlawful exercise of medical activity.
