Nine health officials and doctors in Kosovo were arrested on Thursday under an investigation into private clinics suspected of offering bribes to receive heart surgery patients.
The prosecutor’s office said “some of the suspects” had received money from two private clinics to refer patients who had otherwise sought treatment in state hospitals.
The office said in a statement, “One of the hospitals did not have a working license and even the doctors did not have licenses to carry out heart surgery, which they nevertheless did.” It said a total of 12 people were being investigated.
