You might remember this case from September 2021 in Ireland where a anti-vaxxer/sovereign citizen (Antonio Mureddu) was seen on video removing a very ill man (Joe McCarron) from the hospital ICU. Doctors pleaded with him not to leave the hospital. Mr. McCarron died a few days later and should have never been removed from the hospital.
Antonio Mureddu was arrested today in the lobby of the court house. He was in court dealing with other matters related to a traffic stop.
In court, he was being difficult.
“Judge Mitchell asked Mureddu why he was not wearing a face covering and replied that he was ‘exempt’.
“I am here by special appearance,” Mureddu said.
There were no Garda objections to bail.
“May i have the right to be silent?” Mureddu asked Judge Mitchell.
Mureddu handed in a silver coin and a document to the court.”
It is not clear what the charges are at this time but news outlets note that “Donegal Live understands that Mureddu’s arrest related to an incident at Letterkenny University Hospital where a gravely-ill Covid-19 patient was assisted in departing the hospital.”
