Fertility doc accused of stealing eggs

A fertility doctor has been put under house arrest in Italy after a Spanish nurse alleged that some of her eggs were surgically removed without her consent at his clinic.

Known in Italy as the “grandmother’s obstetrician,” Severino Antinori was taken into custody by police at a Rome airport, and a Milan fertility clinic he ran was sequestered, according to Carabinieri police.

The police said no one who worked on the investigation was available to give further details.
