In Swabia, a woman is said to have forged and sold several hundred vaccination cards. The 31-year-old was already targeted by the investigators in autumn 2021. At that time, during the pandemic, the woman was said to have sold the health cards with false labels for corona vaccinations on a larger scale via the Internet. The investigations against the woman led to further searches in Memmingen and in the Unterallgäu district almost two weeks ago. Seven other people between the ages of 23 and 49 are suspected of having bought fake vaccination documents on a large scale in order to resell them for a profit. As a police spokeswoman reported on Wednesday, the number of vaccination cards is in the middle three-digit range.
The Kripo in Memmingen had set up an investigation group a year and a half ago. In December 2021, the 31-year-old’s apartment was searched and evidence was secured. “During the subsequent evaluation of the accused’s electronic storage media, the investigators found evidence of an extensive distribution network,” the police reported. A large number of chat histories were evaluated. Ultimately, the review of the confiscated material led to investigations against buyers of the fake vaccination cards. The evidence seized from the seven other suspects in March should now be evaluated.
