It all started in November 2019, when a woman, identified as Maria A., approached the Luzuriaga Clinic because she needed a medical permit to then present at the Spanish Embassy. She was treated by the fake doctor. After obtaining the prescription, the woman presented the role in the European entity. But a few days later a call surprised her. They informed him that according to their records, Dr. Murguia’s registration number did not correspond to him, but to Dr. Natalia S., and they indicated that the permit was not valid. The woman contacted the real doctor via LinkedIn and told her about the situation. Then, Mary A., denounced it. In those days, raids were carried out at the medical center and Murguia was kicked out of the facility. However, the man was released. Last September, Prosecutor Martinez took ownership of UFI No. 8, reactivated the case and ordered the relocation of Murgia who continued to practice medicine in different clinics in the western part of the conurbano still using the registration of Dr. Natalia S.
