A doctor accused of falsifying patients' information to push them up an organ transplant list goes on trial in Germany on Monday.

It is alleged the doctor falsified information in at least 25 cases, and accepted money from multiple patients outside Europe in exchange for placement on the Eurotransplant list.

A shortage of organ donors has led to competition between transplant centres.

There has been a sharp drop in organ donations since the scandal broke.

In January, German media reported 38 patients with liver problems were falsely listed as dialysis cases in order to shorten their wait for a transplant. Three doctors at the Leipzig University Clinic's organ transplant centre were suspended.

All the cases in the scandal concern liver patients, and all but one of the alleged manipulations took place in 2010 and 2011.
