A court in western Germany has sentenced apharmacist 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(jiān)禁，因為他為了維持自己奢侈的生活，大規(guī)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 in significantly" diminished.

根據(jù)埃森地方法院上周五的裁決，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.

這一犯罪行為是于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.

盡管早前預(yù)估受此影響的患者人數(shù)要比實際高很多，但檢方指控這名出于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)，并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.

他于2016年11月經(jīng)藥房工作人員揭發(fā)后被逮捕。
