Covid-19: Investigations in homes suspended

The death of 18 residents of the Heiliggeist-Stift in Erding will at least have no legal consequences.

The Landshut public prosecutor's office has closed its preliminary investigations.

This is communicated by their spokesman Thomas Steinkraus-Koch at our newspaper's request.

But there were other investigations as well.

Erding / Dorfen - "There were no indications that the residents were deliberately endangered by cooperation," he said.

The fact that nurses initially looked after infected people and then went to non-infected residents (we reported) can only be treated as an administrative offense - and sanctioned.

Steinkraus-Koch announced that the documents were returned to the district office for further assessment.

District office spokeswoman Claudia Fiebrandt-Kirmeyer said on request that her authority has not yet imposed any fines.

In a second case, too, there will be no further investigation or indictment.

In the meantime, the public prosecutor's office had also investigated the facility for the disabled in Algasing (Dorfen).

According to Steinkraus-Koch, an anonymous complaint against the facility was received by the public prosecutor in the fall of last year.

A larger staff meeting is said to have taken place there, in which a person infected with the coronavirus is said to have taken part.

This then spread the virus in the house.

In fact, there was an accumulation of infections in Algasing.

Kripo and the public prosecutor checked the documents handed over by the district office.

According to Steinkraus-Koch, it emerged that Algasing had a hygiene concept that had also been implemented.

The investigation was then stopped.
