Following the story of the alleged irregularities in the tests for the faculty of medicine, several students in Naples gathered in a committee and, assisted by the law firm Pisani and Scaringia, decided to "go to the bottom of this: they are providing us with documents and evidence - declares lawyer Pisani - to ask the judiciary to cancel and repeat the tests for admission to the faculty".
"We are also ready to seek compensation for damages and reimbursement of expenses for all the students whose dreams were betrayed and damaged.", adds the lawyer, according to whom the restricted number is "unfair, illogical and unconstitutional".
"According to what many aspiring doctors have tearfully reported to me - Pisani continues, thus confirming what has already leaked elsewhere - someone allegedly paid thousands of euros to enroll in a preparation course that allowed them to know the test questions in advance.
Others, however, found a Telegram group where leaks were circulating about the questions aspiring doctors would be asked.

Minister Bernini: "Checks underway."
The consortium "CISIA has informed us that the rumors" about the alleged buying and selling of medical textbook questions are unfounded, and confirmed that there were no irregularities. The investigations," Universities Minister Anna Maria Bernini explained to Il Sole 24 Ore, "are ongoing. It is in our interest to shed full light on this matter, first and foremost for the protection of students. The TOLC tests for medicine are in their first practical test; if they don't work, we are ready to review them."
"Our goal," adds the government representative, "is to continue to open up access to medicine, always in a sustainable manner." The budget law "will not be easy," Bernini admits, "but there are priorities the government is not questioning. Protecting the right to education is one of them."
"This year we have set ourselves another goal," the minister revealed, "to guarantee scholarships even to eligible non-beneficiaries, so as to fully cover the eligible group." Another government priority is "strengthening scholarships for doctoral programs in general, and with particular reference to those that cover the fields of the future, such as artificial intelligence and quantum technologies," Bernini added.
Regarding the increase in bed spaces envisaged by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), "the housing target is decidedly challenging," the minister admits. "It's clear that public and private investments in university housing need to be made more attractive."
