Corruption exposed
NZPA-Reuter Moscow The director and the Communist Party chief of a Soviet medical school provided 120 of their relatives with jobs and marked up the papers of students in return for bribes, says a “Pravda” report. The Communist Party daily said that an investigation into the Dagestan Medical Institute in the North Caucasus had exposed a web of corruption which had enabled the two men to live in luxury and build themselves villas on the Caspian Sea.
Many of the students who had officially passed the institute’s examinations were shown to have only a vague knowledge of medical theories, “Pravda” said.
It said the two men had been dismissed from their posts and that several other senior officials had also been dismissed or severely disciplined.
