德國黑心藥劑師私自稀釋抗癌藥物被判刑12年!

A court in western Germany has sentenced a pharmacist to 12 years in prison for diluting cancer drugs on a massive scale in order to finance his luxury lifestyle.

近日，德國西部的一家法院判處一名藥劑師12年監禁，因爲他爲了維持自己奢侈的生活，大規模稀釋抗癌藥物。

In its ruling last Friday, the Essen regional court said defendant Peter S. had manipulated at least 14,000 drugs, the quality of which was "not insignificantly" diminished.

根據埃森地方法院上週五的裁決，被告彼得S.非法操縱了至少14000種藥物，致使其效果“微微”下降。

The offenses took place in nearby Bottrop between 2012 and 2016.

這一犯罪行爲是於2012年至2016年間在博特羅普附近實施的。

Prosecutors accused the 48-year-old, whose surname wasn't provided for privacy reasons, of harming at least 27 patients, although earlier estimates put the number far higher.

儘管早前預估受此影響的患者人數要比實際高很多，但檢方指控這名出於隱私而沒透露姓氏的48歲藥劑師，仍對至少27名患者造成了傷害。

The defendant allegedly obtained more than 50 million euros ($58 million) through the fraud and used the money to build a villa with a large water slide.

被告涉嫌以欺詐手段斂財超過5000萬歐元（約合5,800萬美元），並用所得款項建造了一幢配有大型水滑梯的別墅。

He was arrested in November 2016 after pharmacy staff blew the whistle.

他於2016年11月經藥房工作人員揭發後被逮捕。
