Arrests made after raid on Prague’s Central Military Hospital

Officers from the Czech police’s organised crime unit made 11 arrests in connection with a raid at the Central Military Hospital in Prague on Tuesday. Those detained are suspected of obstruction of justice, fraud, accepting bribes, bribery, forging medical records and issuing false expert opinions, a prosecutor’s office representative said in a statement.

The news website Odkryto.cz said that the case centred on the falsification of medical reports and that one of those arrested was a senior consultant.
