A top Italian infectious-diseases
doctor, Massimo Galli of Milan's Sacco hospital, is among 33
people under investigation in a major probe into university
recruitment, sources said Tuesday.
Two dozen of the people under investigation are lecturers at
universities in Milan, Pavia, Turin, Rome and Palermo.
The case regards alleged wrongdoing in the recruitment of
lecturers, assistants and hospital managers and in admissions to
limited-place medicine degree courses, the sources said.
Investigators are probing alleged corruption, criminal
association and abuse of office.
Galli is a familiar figure with the Italian public after
appearing frequently on television to talk about COVID-19.
The fact Galli and the other suspects are under investigation
does not necessarily mean they will face charges.
