Greek Doctor Jailed After Albanian Bribe

ATHENS - A senior physician at a Greek hospital near
the Albanian border was sent to prison after taking a
bribe from an Albanian patient, the Greek daily
Kathimerini reported on Thursday.

Prof. S. Tsemanatzis was director of Ioannina General
Hospital when he was accused of taking a
300,000-drachma (some $900) payment from an Albanian
patient. He has been sentenced by a court to two
months in prison. 

The city of Ioannina is some 45 kilometres (28 miles)
from the Albanian border.

In the last few days Greek universities and medical
institutions are dealing with an increasing number of
reports of bribing. The universities' disciplinary
committee on Wednesday expelled two university
professors - one of mathematics and the other of
medicine - for taking bribes. Albanian students are
believed to be involved in the affair, but details on
the matter were not available.

The committee decided unanimously to dismiss A.
Dallas, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Athens
University, who has been charged with taking bribes,
racketeering, using forged papers and allegedly being
the head of a ring which sold examination papers to
students or corrected their papers for a fee ranging
from 100,000 to 500,000 drachmas ($300 - $1,500).
