From 2009 he gained international attention as a defendant in a murder trial : the Dubai public prosecutor accused him of the murder of a paraplegic Pakistani worker; However, according to several Western media outlets, the criminal proceedings were in part not in line with the rule of law.

Due to the allegations of two employees that he deliberately killed a patient, Adelsmayr moved in 2009 as chairman of the Institute for Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine at the Al-Ain Hospital in Al-Ain , United Arab Emirates. Since 2012 he has been self-employed in Austria as a specialist in anesthesia and intensive care medicine.

The process

A 46-year-old Pakistani worker was admitted to Rashid Hospital on January 14, 2009 with a cervical spine injury and paraplegia . In mid-January, Adelsmayr submitted his resignation and when the patient died on February 21, 2009, he had not been on duty for 36 hours. Nevertheless accused the previously Adel Mayr as part of a two Arab doctors, employee evaluation , had felt unfairly treated him and an Indian , colleagues the patient by an excessive dose of morphine not inadequate oxygen delivery and placement, the patient revive , intentional killing.

Several investigations subsequently carried out, including by the Austrian Medical Association , the Higher Committee for Medical Liability (HCML) and the Dubai Health Authority, showed that Adelsmayr's actions could not have led to the death of the Pakistani man. The case was referred to the Dubai Public Prosecutor's Office in 2010 .

The latter is suspected of being responsible for the manipulations proven by Adelsmayr's lawyers when translating into Arabic: “Everything exonerating has been left out” and new, incriminating sections have been added; a total of 19 pages are missing.

As a result of the events, Adelsmayr's medical license in Dubai was revoked in 2009 and his passport was revoked in 2010. This prevented him from leaving the UAE. Due to diplomatic efforts by the Austrian Foreign Ministry and because of his wife's serious illness, Adelsmayr was allowed to return to Austria for the first time on September 28, 2011 and from then on only visited Dubai for negotiation appointments. For family reasons and because the court tolerated and recognized questionable testimony, the falsified expert opinion and other irregularities, Adelsmayr did not attend a hearing for the first time in 2012. Adelsmayr's verdict on life imprisonment was passed by the judge on October 21, 2012 in his absence, which means that it has no legal force. The co-accused Indian colleague was acquitted.
