Hungarian doctor jailed for fraud gets back to work
Tibor Geönczeöl, the Hungarian surgeon jailed for fraud has resumed work at the intensive care unit of the Szentes hospital, writes hirszerzo.hu. He was released three months early on grounds of good behavior.
Szentes hospital manager Katalin Várkonyi called Geönczeöl "an outstanding expert who has paid for what he has done."
Geönczeöl was sentenced to three years in prison together with hospital manager Ágnes Kovács for having billed Hungary's national health insurer for the cost of more than 200 operations he performed on foreign patients while also accepting money from the patients.
President László Sólyom reduced Geönczeöl's three years of punishment to one year, and suspended Kovács's 18 months of punishment for two years in November 2006.
