Toronto doctor George Otto’s medical licence was revoked by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) on Jan. 11, 2023, more than three years after he was convicted as a drug dealer in a fentanyl trafficking scheme.
Otto, originally from Uganda, was 61 when the Ontario Superior Court of Justice sentenced him to 12 years in prison in November 2019. He appealed his conviction, arguing that the sentence was excessive. Then, after serving just 13 days of his term, he was granted bail and released, reported Toronto Life in a May 2021 article.
