Doctor arrested following patient complaint
A 58-year-old doctor specialising in general medicine and traumatology was arrested on Saturday 7th November by the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police force) in Girona after a complaint of sexual assault during a medical consultation. This is not the first such incident: police records show the physician had previously been flagged for similar conduct in 2024 and earlier in 2026. After appearing before the court, the doctor was released with charges. The Public Prosecutor's Office did not request precautionary measures, according to findings reported by Crónica Global.
Clinic clarifies its relationship with the doctor
The Clínica Bofill, the leading private medical group in Girona province, has publicly clarified that the doctor was not part of its direct staff or medical team. In a statement obtained by Crónica Global, the clinic explained he worked exclusively through ICOT Actua, an independent healthcare company that rents space within the clinic’s facilities to deliver its own services.
The relationship with the doctor is not with us, but with an external provider operating on our premises.
As part of its ongoing cooperation, Clínica Bofill has formally requested ICOT Actua provide clarification on the safeguards in place to ensure continuity and safety of patient care.
Doctor suspended pending investigation
ICOT Actua has confirmed to the clinic that the doctor has been preventively suspended and is no longer carrying out any healthcare activities. The company has not issued a public statement, but the suspension remains in effect as the judicial process unfolds. The Col·legi de Metges de Girona has expressed regret over the case, underscoring the importance of professional integrity and patient trust in medical practice.
