Julien Bogousslavsky

Julien Bogousslavsky (born May 1, 1954 in Paris, France)[1] is a Swiss neurologist who has been Chief of Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Services at Clinique Valmont, a hospital in Montreux, Switzerland, since 2006. He is also the medical head at the Center for Brain and Nervous System Diseases and an invited professor at the University of Franche-Comté in France.

His father was Serge Bogousslavsky, an art thief known for stealing the Jean Antoine Watteau painting L'Indifferent from the Louvre in 1939.[1] He was educated at the University of Geneva, graduating in 1978. He became a consultant neurologist at Lausanne University Hospital in 1984.[2]

In 1990, Bogousslavsky co-founded the European Stroke Conference,[3] and served as chairman of the European Stroke Council from 1998 to 2000.[2]

On March 12, 2009, Bogousslavsky was found guilty of multiple fraud charges, including one of embezzling the equivalent of almost US$7.6 million.[4] At his 2010 trial, he was sentenced to two years in prison and fined 70,000 euros.[5]
