The Central Authority for Control and Inspection revealed today, Saturday, a wide educational corruption case in one of the private Syrian universities, dating back to the previous regime, with a value of approximately 1.5 billion Syrian pounds.

According to the official report, the violations involved granting forged university degrees based on incorrect exam papers, benefiting influential individuals, the children of officials, and drug dealers.
