In exchange for drugs or small sums of money, they underwent the Covid-19 vaccination with false documents. All to allow "No vax" acquaintances to obtain the Green pass during the peak of the pandemic.
It is one of the discoveries made by an investigation by the Dda of the Catania prosecutor's office into a gang of robbers.
There are 17 suspects, nine of whom are the recipients of a precautionary measure.
The investigations have put under the lens three armed robberies carried out in as many shops in the Municipality of San Giovanni La Punta.
The investigations revealed that the suspects used perfectly functional clandestine weapons, which were sold to local criminals for around one thousand euros each.
But, as mentioned, the carabinieri have also discovered the fraudulent system linked to the Covid vaccination.
For one of the "guinea pigs", it was ascertained that he had administered three doses of vaccine in less than a month, at serious risk to his health.
