Turin hospital cash for corpses scam
Extract:
"As part of the scam, doctors and nurses allegedly allowed employees of the funeral parlours into the mortuary and gave them white coats, so they could break the news of a loved one's death to relatives and then suggest a burial company.
Police estimated that the corrupt employees were making more than €5,000 from the hospital's average of 10 deaths a week.
If they are convicted of bribery and corruption, the medical staff could face a minimum of five years in jail."
