It was a year ago that the doctor was convicted by Hudiksvall District Court for grossly untrue testimony.
The district court ruled that the 14 prescriptions were not medically justified but were part of "a criminal scheme to be able to collect a relatively expensive preparation free of charge" through the high-cost protection.
Covered by the high-cost protection
The doctor appealed the verdict to the Court of Appeal in Sundsvall, which is now acquitting him.
The court considers that it is true that the doctor for a year prescribed 40 units of botox preparations to himself to a value of SEK 161,000 and an additional 114 units to four other people for a total of SEK 418,000.
The Court of Appeal rules that botox is a drug that is covered by the high-cost protection.
The doctor may therefore not have been guilty of writing a certificate with false information, which the prosecutor has claimed that the doctor did by writing that the courses would be covered by the high-cost protection.
The Court of Appeal has not commented in its reasons for the judgment on whether the prescriptions have been judged to be medically justified or not.
