The individual known as Doctor Wali, a 54-year-old Pakistani national, was sentenced to two years in prison and fined a total of 11,700 euros after a court case that explored a pattern of misrepresentation and fraudulent health practices. The judge also ordered the return of substantial assets that had been seized during a Civil Guard operation conducted between 2018 and 2020. The proceedings identified serious offenses linked to professional boundary violations, violations of workers’ rights, and crimes tied to public health. The case involved the manufacture and sale of drugs, dietary products, and supplements that lacked legitimate medical oversight, which raised alarms about the safety and legality of treatment practices offered at a private facility. The verdict ultimately rejected any notion that the accused would face an extended prison term, provided that no further offenses occurred within a five-year period. The court postponed the execution of the sentence with the understanding that the individual would not have a criminal record after completing the specified term without new violations.
Following a consent agreement mediated by the defense lawyer, the Picasset Investigation Court No. Three found the accused, identified as AA Wali, responsible for crimes against public health and related offenses. The penalties included a prison sentence of two years and a fine of 2,700 euros for the illegal provision of medical services and the manipulation of substances marketed as drugs, dietary items, and supplements. In addition, a separate fine of 5,400 euros covered charges of professional trespass and violations of workers’ rights. Investigators reported that several victims, all workers of immigrant backgrounds, had worked without formal contracts and under conditions described as dire on a farm where the services were allegedly offered. The testimony and records indicated a troubling pattern of exploitation and unsafe medical practices that endangered those involved.
Gold bars were recovered during the investigation and later returned to the defendant, alongside silver bars and cash. The events under scrutiny unfolded over a period spanning approximately two years, starting with the person’s relocation to the Picasset area and culminating in the Civil Guard’s homicide unit taking action in late 2020. The court accepted as proven that the defendant provided alternative medicine-related services despite lacking the formal medical qualifications required to practice as a physician in Spain. The findings highlighted a gap between claimed expertise and the official licensure necessary to diagnose and treat patients. The medical records reviewed by investigators documented a network of clinics and farm operations where treatment procedures occurred outside the formal health system, with many documents and digital records confirming that the work took place at an unlawful clinic in Picasset. The amount of seized items included international currency exchange and the storage of patient records that pointed to illicit clinical activity.
The court proceedings noted that the 89 gold bars and 40 bars of silver, together with cash seized during the investigation, were part of the assets later returned by the court to the defendant while the sentence was suspended for a two-year period. Investigators found evidence that the accused, who held a doctoral level credential in nutrition earned abroad, marketed and sold medicines directly to customers overseas, including clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. Reports indicated that some patients traveled from England specifically to receive treatment at the private facility, with payments reported to range from ten thousand to twenty thousand pounds per case. The physician’s initial denial of the facts gave way to admissions that confirmed the crimes for which the defendant was sentenced. The court determined that a significant payment was to be made, and the overall value of the seized gold and silver, as well as other assets, was considered in the sentencing and eventual asset return. The case also highlighted a troubling narrative where patients with serious illnesses, including cancer, sought treatment through channels that lacked proper oversight and documented accountability, raising concerns about patient safety and the risks associated with unregulated medical practices.
During the investigation, authorities documented the presence of a private clinic and farm facility that operated outside the formal health system. Records indicated the use of unapproved substances and medical appliances, as well as prescriptions and digital storage devices that demonstrated the scope of treatment activities conducted without appropriate health records. A subsequent review confirmed that these activities were concentrated at a location in Picasset, and that they did not appear in official health documentation. The incident prompted officials to seize additional items, including specified gold and silver bars and a defined amount of cash, underscoring the scale of the operation and the financial incentives involved. The legal process underscored the tension between unconventional treatment approaches and the necessity for standardized, licenced medical care in the region.
The defendant’s early stance was to deny the charges and to attribute the medications to the needs of a sick spouse. As the case progressed, the defendant acknowledged the crimes and accepted the penalties laid out by the court, including the two-year sentence and the financial obligations. The resolution also reflected a broader public health concern about the potential harm caused by unregulated treatment methods, and the importance of ensuring that medical services offered to residents and international visitors meet established safety standards. The ruling served as a clear reminder of the consequences for those who operate outside the legal framework intended to protect patients and workers alike.
