Hospital files charges against doctor caught on tape admitting she accepted bribes

A Brno hospital has filed charges against a doctor employed at the facility who admitted on tape she had accepted bribes from pharmaceutical companies. Dermatologist Eliška Jugová made the admission unaware she was being recorded by hidden camera. Earlier, public broadcaster Czech TV reported the doctor allegedly received as much as 10,000 crowns a month or “gifts” for favouring certain companies. The police are looking into the case. If it goes to court and the suspect is found guilty, she could face a ban to practice medicine - or up to three years in prison.
