Five IKA fund employees arrested over multi-million scam

Five IKA employees have been arrested on suspicion of illegally assigning benefits to people insured with the fund and taking a cut of that money themselves.

Two doctors who work for IKA in Iraklio, Crete, are also due to face charges in connection with a similar scam involving foreign workers on the island.
