Marbella surgeon dead in his clinic: 50 patients file negligence complaints
A plastic surgeon in Marbella was murdered in his clinic. Following his death, approximately 50 patients have filed complaints for medical negligence and alleged coercion.
The Olive Press investigation reveals serious allegations against murdered surgeon
The Olive Press has received hundreds of emails and comments about Dr Aslani, a plastic surgeon in Marbella specialising in gluteal lift surgery, following his violent death at the clinic.
What initially appeared to be a murder linked to drug trafficking conflicts turned out, more probably, to be a crime ordered by a patient. Hours after reporting the execution, the newsroom began receiving correspondence that pointed to a concerning pattern.
The first isolated complaints from angry clients quickly evolved into testimonies from dozens of traumatised women from around the world — approximately 50 to date. Each alleges having been treated inadequately by the surgeon or having felt let down by his post-operative care.
The newsroom faced a classic dilemma in journalism: although the surgeon had recently died and his family was in mourning, there existed an obligation to give voice to his patients and investigate the allegations. The Olive Press considered that these stories were of public interest.
What has been revealed is deeply disturbing. To the public, Dr Aslani projected an image of respectability and talent, with tens of thousands of operations performed. However, a concerning number of them apparently resulted in serious complications.
The testimonies include questionable medical certificates, the imposition of confidentiality clauses on patients, restrictions on practising in the United Kingdom, and alarming post-operative infections. Some patients report that they were pressured to remain silent about their problems.
These cases suggest potential failures in medical regulation and in the standards of the plastic surgery industry. The Olive Press takes no satisfaction in exposing a man unable to defend himself nor in the pain it may cause to his loved ones, but considers it both its responsibility and its journalistic duty to investigate and report these facts in the interest of the public good.
