In interview on Tuesday, acting Attorney General Gregory Baka said he would neither confirm nor deny if his office was already investigating the matter.
Things that are under investigation, he said, are not supposed to be divulged to the public.
Ten nurses are attending an English class on Saipan, hoping they can work as interns at CHC, as promised to them by Jay Kim, the businessman who brought them here.
Each paid Kim $3,750 for their travel and internship “arrangement fee.” Nine of them spent $1,200 for the English class at the University of Loyola. One is studying English at her rented apartment.
Each of them are spending up to $1,000 for their monthly food and rent.
These nurses have passed the NCLEX and they believe that an internship on Saipan will allow them to work in the U.S.
The Consulate Agency of the Republic of Korea on Guam and the Korean Association on Saipan are closely monitoring the plight of these nurses.
The Department of Public Health earlier said that CHC has no internship program for foreign medical personnel.
