Romanian hospital ex-manager gets suspended sentence for bribery, fraud

Doina Caba, former manager of Botoşani County Hospital, accepted a plea deal and received a three-year suspended sentence for taking bribes (€11,000 and gold jewelry) to rig recruitment competitions. The case, prosecuted by Romania's National Anti-Corruption Directorate, underscores ongoing anti-corruption enforcement in the healthcare sector. It is a routine local corruption case with no broader market or geopolitical implications.
