A bogus doctor who operated as a heart specialist for more than 30 years has been exposed as a carpenter without a single medical qualification to his name.
Self-styled expert Vladimiro Colloca, 58, is understood to have been consulted by thousands of patients around Milan, Italy, in three decades of posing as a cardiac specialist, say prosecutors.
He was caught out when some of his patients mentioned him in consultations with real heart experts, who had never heard of him.
Police are now investigating his extensive patient records to establish if any of them died or suffered as a result of his treatment.
