ROME, Muharram 28, 1436, Nov 21, 2014, SPA -- police put 12 paediatricians under house arrest on Friday for allegedly accepting extravagant gifts from makers of baby milk formula to promote it in place of breastfeeding, Reuters reported. Police have been investigating "a common and widespread practice" in which paediatricians "prescribe baby milk formula to newborns in exchange for bribes in the form of luxury gifts and costly holidays", a statement said. Two of the doctors put under arrest were chief paediatricians in hospitals, the statement said. Five sales representatives for three different companies and one executive were also under house arrest, police said, without giving names. -- SPA 19:30 LOCAL TIME 16:30 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
