The indictment states that Valdet Rexhepi is suspected of requesting and accepting money in six cases, while Ekrem Sefiu allegedly did so in three cases. According to the prosecution, the payments were related to treating and operating on patients, in connection with their official duties.

The nine defendants, F.V., B.Q., F.Xh., B.G., B.A., K.H., S.N., V.Y. and L.K., are suspected of promising, offering or giving the doctors varying sums of money, either directly or through other people, for themselves or for the benefit of their relatives.
