Linden Hospital accounts staff arrested in $25 Million fraud probe
Three staffers attached to the accounts department at the Linden Hospital Complex have been arrested following allegations of a multimillion-dollar fraud.
Kaieteur News understands that the three were arrested on Friday after a $25M million fraud was uncovered.
Reports so far indicate that several senior officials from the Criminal Investigation Police Headquarters in Georgetown traveled to Linden on Friday to effect the arrests. The persons suspected to be involved in the fraud were brought to the city for further questioning and remain in custody.

Police sources said that the probe is being done entirely by police headquarters, Eve Leary. Police officials from Linden were unaware of the probe and were never asked to be involved in the investigations.
Reports also indicate that the probe would uncover several alleged fraudulent activities in the accounts department, including payments still being made for nurses who have migrated, changed jobs and even some who have died. Those arrested are only being questioned at this stage and the probe could widen by Monday.
