A 65-year-old Saskatoon psychiatrist has been charged following an investigation into fraudulent activities.
Police stated that members of the Saskatoon Police Service economic crime section have concluded the investigation after the accused turned himself in to police on July 25.
“(He) was subsequently arrested, processed, and released on conditions; he is charged with fraud over $5,000,” according to a release.
Police stated they received notice in February of 2022 from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan of suspected fraudulent activity relating to the medical billings of a Saskatoon psychiatrist.
