A couple who authorities say performed liposuction in the basement of a home were charged with practicing medicine without a license after a female patient died.
Luiz Carlos Ribeiro, 49, a native of Brazil, and Ana Maria Miranda Ribeiro, also 49, pleaded not guilty to the unauthorized practice of medicine and drug charges at their arraignment.
Just last week, the husband taped an interview for a local cable-access television show to warn against seeking medical care from unlicensed professionals, said Ilma Paixao, who conducted the interview.
The couple are accused of performing an illegal liposuction on Fabiola DePaula, 24, of Framingham, who died Sunday after being taken unconscious to a local hospital.
