The administrator of a clinic in Buzău was detained after more than 30 fictitious home consultations were reported

The administrator of a clinic in Buzău, a 67-year-old woman, was detained for 24 hours in a case involving fraud, computer forgery, and material forgery in official documents. She is suspected of having obtained reimbursement from the Buzău Health Insurance House for more than 30 emergency consultations at patients’ homes, reported during the period from February to April 2026.

Investigators claim that the medical services were either not performed or were carried out by the administrator herself, without the necessary qualifications. The doctor listed in the documents allegedly did not participate in the consultations, and documents containing false information were allegedly prepared in order to obtain the money.

On Tuesday, November 3, officers from the Buzău Criminal Investigations Service conducted three searches in the municipality of Buzău and in the town of Costești as part of Operation JUPITER. Documents, storage media, and other evidence were seized. Four people were taken in for questioning, and the administrator was detained and was to be brought before the prosecutor to determine the preventive measures.

According to judicial sources cited by News.ro, the woman is allegedly psychiatrist Maria Cristache, former director of the Săpoca Neuropsychiatry Hospital. The investigation is continuing under the coordination of prosecutors to establish the full extent of the criminal activity.
