Hours after he was fired from his role as MetroHealth CEO following an investigation into alleged misappropriation of funds, Dr. Akram Boutros sat down with 3News' Monica Robins to share his side of the story.
According to Boutros, who was set to retire at the end of this year, the allegations against him come as the result of his role as a "whistleblower" during the process of MetroHealth's hiring of his successor, Airica Steed. Boutros says that the allegations against him -- which include $1.9 million in undisclosed bonuses paid over a four-year period beginning in 2018 -- only came after he expressed concern that board members had violated Ohio's sunshine laws by deliberating Steed's hiring and signing agreements outside of public meetings.
