Earlier, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) arrested a network -comprising of its employees and some pilots- allegedly involved in the fake pilots’ licenses scam. According to sources, the CAA carried out raids for two accused allegedly involved in the scam. Some of the aviation employees were using their frontmen to collect money for the fake licenses.
