A Gold Coast court has found a Queensland police officer did not act improperly when interviewing Russian witnesses whilst investigating the case of alleged bogus doctor Vincent Berg. In a decision handed down in the Southport District Court this morning, Judge David Kent QC did not award a stay on proceedings, argued for last week by Berg’s defence team. Berg, aged in his 60s and a Soviet political refugee, has been charged with more than 24 offences, including grievous bodily harm and fraud. He allegedly forged his medical degree then worked as a psychiatrist in Townsville and on the Gold Coast from 1999-2002.
