US Senate Votes to Hold Ralph de la Torre in Criminal Contempt
Sep 25, 2024, 09:18 PM
The US Senate has voted unanimously to hold Steward Health Care CEO Ralph de la Torre in criminal contempt of Congress. The decision follows de la Torre's refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena related to cost-cutting decisions at Steward Health Care's 31 hospitals before the company filed for bankruptcy. The Senate's resolution, supported by Senator Cassidy, Senator Warren, and Senator Markey, refers the matter to the Justice Department, which could lead to a trial and potential prison time for de la Torre. This marks the first time since 1971 that the Senate has held someone in criminal contempt. The move comes amid reports that nurses at a Steward hospital had to pay out of pocket for boxes for dead newborn corpses, with Steward instructing them to use cardboard boxes.
