Hospital Employees Charged With Forging Dyslexia Certificates

As if the "fakelaki" wasn;t enough. Every stone that is turned in the Greek public sector surfaces a stench of corruption. The latest case involves three women who worked at the Sismanogleio and Penteli Children’s hospitals in Athens. These ladies apparently sold dyslexia certificates to the parents of children preparing to sit university entrance exams so that they would receive preferential treatment.

Prosecutor Poppy Papandreou issued criminal charges against them for producing and selling forged documentation certifying that patients were dyslexic.

It is believed that the forged certificates cost between 300 and 900 euros, while the women are suspected of having sold more than 100 documents from 2007 to 2012.
