CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office will not pursue criminal charges against former MetroHealth CEO Dr. Akram Boutros for receiving bonuses totaling $1.9 million, a spokeswoman said. The hospital's board of trustees maintains that the bonuses were unauthorized. The prosecutor's office made the determination after reviewing Tuesday's state auditor office’s investigation into whether the board approved the bonuses. The state auditor report, requested by the prosecutor's office about two years ago, was inconclusive on the question of whether the bonuses were unauthorized.
