Police arrest doctor who was part of ring fixing driving license tests

The Olsztyn police have apprehended two driving license examiners and a doctor from Elblag involved in accepting bribes in exchange for ensuring that candidates passed their driving test. The examination procedure in Elblag allowed candidates to take their theoretical exam, not in front of a computer, but rather based on the traditional written system which is usually only permitted in cases when a given person can prove they cannot work using a computer. The police discovered that once a week a group of 20-30 people received a certificate from the same doctor proving that due to health problems they were unable to sit the exam using a computer. The examiners and doctors charged in excess of zl. 2.000 to guarantee that a candidate passed their test. Those who received such exemption certificates included an IT student as well as a participant in a computer training course. The officials were held in police custody and the local prosecutor is preparing charges of corruption and bribery against them. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A5) A.Z.
