Dozens of doctors in Puerto Rico have been accused of obtaining their medical licences through bribery or fraud.

Federal agents with arrest warrants for at least 88 doctors carried out a series of arrests across the US territory on Thursday amid accusations they had paid to have exam results changed.

Thirty-seven people had been arrested by midday and another 10 were at large, Jose Ruiz, an assistant US attorney in charge of the investigation, said.

He said the remainder of the suspects had either turned themselves in or agents knew their whereabouts.
