Dr Peter Dupont, who refused to approve kidney transplant, said ‘wealth disparity’ between alleged victim and accused created cause for concern
A London doctor who refused to approve a kidney transplant of an alleged victim of organ trafficking said he was worried that the man was being “financially coerced” into the donation, the Old Bailey has heard.
Dr Peter Dupont, a kidney specialist at the Royal Free hospital, was giving evidence at the trial of a Nigerian senator, Ike Ekweremadu, 60, his wife Beatrice, 56, daughter Sonia, 25, and Dr Obinna Obeta, 51, who are accused of conspiring to arrange or facilitate the travel of the young man to Britain with a view to his exploitation.
