Physician and mayor of West New York, Felix Roque, MD, was acquitted of the single charge of commercial bribery he faced in a kickback scheme involving an MRI lab in Hackensack.
Roque, 60, said that the defense had cost him $400,000 and he feels for other doctors who are faced with similar situations but don’t have the financial means to fight.
