Italian term or phrase: servirsi a scopo privato
Ciao!
in un atto di citazione mi trovo con questa frase da tradurre che a dire la verità mi sembra un pò contorta anche per via della ripetizione:

"Ed ancora accusato di servirsi a scopo privato ,sempre a scopo privato, di personale medico dipendente invece della struttura pubblica in cui lavorava"

Mi date una mano?

Grazie!

for personal purposes in order to provide private (medical) services


Explanation:
as I see it the reason for the repetition could be this:
this person is using the personnel from the hospital to provide services against payment (private medical services) or in private medical structures which he owns or in any case for which he reaps the benefits
i.e.
for his private medical practice (probably within the hospital)
