Major Scandal in Brazil

A major scandal struck the Brazilian people a few days ago as the news that Prevent Senior - a health care insurer - supposedly used some of its pactients as guinea pigs came to light.

I'd probably say "had supposedly used", but this is fine.

According to the report, the company carried out a secret research to test the effectiveness of medicines like chloroquine and ivermectin against Covid-19.

Research is usually uncountable here - you could say "carried out a secret study".

According to the doctors and ex-doctors of the company who made the denounceiation, the administration of the medicines were madas done without the pactient or his/her family's knowledge or permission, and at least nine people would have died during the tests.

"denounce" is a verb, you could say "the doctors who denounced the research". A nice way to avoid saying "his/her" might be "the administration was done without patients' or their families' knowledge or permission".

Also, the doctors were told to work without masks to help spread the disease.

The case is still under investigation and there is evidence that the federal government wouldmight be involved too.

It's hard to explain why I don't like these "would"s, but they don't feel right.

Nobody whas been arrested aso far.
