Örebro University Hospital faces suspected salary fraud investigation

An investigation has revealed suspected systematic salary fraud at the emergency clinic of Örebro University Hospital. Thousands of leaked documents suggest the existence of a “shadow schedule” system.

According to reports, several of the clinic’s highest-paid doctors have reportedly received salaries for shifts they did not actually work. While police previously closed an investigation into the suspected million-kronor fraud, journalists are now uncovering how this system was allowed to develop. The alleged discrepancies coincide with periods where staff shortages have forced patients to wait for care.
