An Albanian osteopath has been arrested by the police in Italy after being accused of sexually abusing both minor and elderly patients.
The investigations were carried out by the Prosecutor's Office of Brescia in cooperation with the police of Rovato, after several accusations were brought against him by the persons who had been sexually harassed.
The court has decided to issue an arrest warrant after stating that the evidence gathered against the 44-year-old Albanian is sufficient to support the charges.
The Italian authorities say that the confession that prompted the investigation was that of the minor son of the Albanian. It is suspected that the Albanian osteopath has sexually harassed patients in at least 4 cases.
Osteopathy is a profession based on pseudoscience that encourages patients to use alternative medicine to cure various problems by manipulating the bones and muscles of the body.
