Two doctors and a collaborator were arrested by the Guardia di Finanza in Ferrara. They falsified the Green Pass for a fee, both by simulating the administration of the anti-Covid vaccine and by issuing false exemption certificates for non-existent pathologies.
Finished in handcuffs during an operation called "Red Pass", they must answer for ideological falsehood, corruption, embezzlement and aggravated fraud against the state.
The investigating magistrate of the city of Este justified the precautionary measure of the arrest with the existence of serious indications of guilt, the danger of repetition of crimes and pollution of evidence by the suspects.
The survey started last December when the men of Finance noticed how the two doctors - starting from April 2021 - had registered an anomalous and disproportionate increase in patients, with 848 new patients of which 51 from other provinces or regions. . In addition, 548 of the new patients were vaccinated in the 14 days following the change of doctor.
There are 42 confirmed cases of corruption. Thanks to telephone and environmental wiretapping, it emerged that the suspects - for a fee of 20 or 50 euros - falsely attested to having carried out the vaccination, sometimes simulating only with the insertion of the syringe needle into the patient's arm, other times by injecting a saline or water solution. In other cases, the vaccine was deliberately rendered ineffective by refreezing and thawing.
The images acquired by the Fiamme Gialle would also have shown how in several cases the same syringe was reused several times.
Among the patients at the center of the investigation there would also be men of the police, military, nurses, teachers, all categories subject to the obligation to vaccinate. And yet priests, pensioners, students, traders and freelancers.
