The Head of the Bălți Psychiatric Hospital allegedly extorted money from her subordinates monthly, not to create issues at work. She is investigated for the abuse of official position
24.11.2021 57 ViewsThe head of the Bălți Psychiatric Hospital is investigated for abuse of official position by the NAC and anti-corruption prosecutors, after she allegedly forced her subordinates to offer her a part of the salary each month. According to the preliminary information, she would have collected money from doctors and auxiliary personnel protection money not to cause them problems.
As some of the hospital employees declared, the manager of the institution had offered them monthly bonuses to the salary and then made them restore this money by promising that she would not cause problems to them in their work. According to the statements of the witnesses, the amounts collected by the hospital head monthly varied between 3,000 and 10,000 lei. The damage caused to the employees was estimated at over 100,000 lei.
The NAC officers have initiated legal proceedings over abuse of official position and carried out searches at the suspect’s office. Also, a number of persons working at the hospital were questioned and cooperate with the investigation body.
Currently, the woman is investigated at large and is to be suspended from the post. She faces prison for up to 6 years with the deprivation of the right to carry out certain activity for a period of two to five years.
The North Office of the Anticorruption Prosecution is conducting the criminal investigation.
