Prosecutors and police in Romania conducted 14 searches as part of an investigation targeting doctors from the Republic of Moldova who obtained specialty diplomas through forgery.

They requested the Ministry of Health to recognize the studies conducted at the State University of Medicine and Pharmacy 'Nicolae Testemițanu' in Chișinău, but there are suspicions that the residency was not actually completed. The investigation focuses on crimes such as fraud, material forgery in official documents, and the unauthorized practice of a profession. Doctors from various specialties, including emergency medicine and plastic surgery, submitted their corresponding diplomas, but evidence suggests that they were employed in Romania during their studies.
