Vaccinations for over 100 hotel employees from Italy: More and more information is becoming known about the corona scandal at the airport.
A doctor from Munich is also being investigated.
Munich Airport
- The news caused great outrage and head shaking: More than 100 Italian hotel employees flew to Munich for a day at the end of May - to receive a Biontech vaccination at the airport.
Meanwhile, investigations are being carried out in several directions.
Several buildings in Munich were examined during a raid.
It's about bribery and vaccine misappropriation.
Little by little, more and more details about the extraordinary company outing become known.
Corona vaccination at Munich Airport: Vaccine doctor is the focus of the investigation
The Munich doctor Dr. Udo Beckenbauer was involved in the corona vaccination campaign at the airport. According to the
BR, he is
the focus of investigations by the Central Office for Combating Fraud and Corruption in the Health Care System in Nuremberg. "Last Tuesday we sent an extensive declaration to the central office," said his defense lawyer, Thomas Pfister from Munich,
as quoted
by the
BR
. "We want to help with the education."
According to this, a patient asked the doctor in his practice if he wanted to help with the vaccination campaign.
Beckenbauer agrees.
I then ordered the vaccine she needed from a Munich pharmacy.
Attorney Pfister reports that the doctor has been working with the pharmacy for a "long time".
He clarifies: “The vaccine does not come from the black market.
But that is still a violation of the vaccination ordinance. "
Biontech vaccination for hotel employees from Italy: Some questions remain unanswered
Some questions remain open for the time being. For example, how exactly the contact between the Munich doctor and the Italian luxury hotel complex “Forte Village” came about. According to
BR,
there were probably various intermediate stations. For example, a civil law attorney drew up a contract for the 120 or so vaccinations. Among other things, the place, time and type of implementation are regulated here. Who selected and commissioned the lawyer? There is no answer to that either.
According to the hotel, a so-called "partnership" is supposed to have made this extraordinary company outing possible.
The "Forte Village" organized special flights for its employees to Munich.
The partnership will enable the employees to “have a special medical service abroad”.
At the same time, the hotel management emphasized in the Sardinian daily newspaper "L'Unione Sarda": The planned and used vaccine doses, in which all EU member states are involved, had not been impaired in any way.
Munich Airport: Ministry of Health involved in vaccination campaign according to doctor - lawyer denies statement
Beckenbauer's statement that the vaccination campaign was organized by the German Ministry of Health recently caused a stir. This accusation has since been denied personally by the ministry, Jens Spahn and the Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek. Attorney Pfister also clearly opposes this claim. He couldn't explain what his client said. The whole action was "instinctless", so Pfister. But he also emphasizes: The doctor did not earn a cent from the vaccination campaign.
In the meantime, the investigation has landed at the Nuremberg Public Prosecutor's Office.
This is currently investigating seven suspects: three doctors, a lawyer, two people from hotel management and a pharmacy.
One thing is already certain: "According to the vaccination ordinance, the corona vaccine is only available to an authorized group of people.
The employees of the Italian hotel were not allowed to get vaccinations in Germany.
This gave rise to the suspicion of embezzlement of vaccines, ”the public prosecutor's spokesman Matthias Held from the
BR was
quoted
with these words
.
