Court tosses racketeering charge in hepatitis case, allows other charges against Las Vegas doctor to stand
The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that a racketeering charge against
high-profile Las Vegas physician Dipak K. Desai be dismissed, but it
permitted prosecution of Desai on other charges involving a hepatitis
outbreak at his clinic more than five years ago.
Desai and two
employees are accused of reusing syringes and drugs that caused
hepatitis C to be transferred to least seven of his patients.
