The supervisory board of the University Hospital Magdeburg did not make a decision on Monday about the consequences in connection with investigations into an alleged left-wing extremist crime. The Ministry of Science confirmed this in the evening. "Due to the ongoing investigations by the Federal Prosecutor's Office in Karlsruhe, the supervisory board will not comment on the matter for the time being and will wait for the ongoing investigations to be completed," said supervisory board chief and science minister Armin Willingmann (SPD).
Magdeburg - The public prosecutor's office is investigating a former employee of the clinic.
She is said to have unauthorized access to data and unlawfully passed on resident registration data.
According to media reports, these queries are related to crimes from the left-wing extremist spectrum.
After the start of the investigation, the person was released.
After the supervisory board meeting, Willingmann said that so far “no misconduct on the part of the hospital's board of directors in dealing with this process has been identified”.
The hospital board was commissioned to examine other options for accessing registration data in order to prevent misuse.
Even in the case of possible irregularities when buying a mask, there are no consequences for the time being.
Since the final report of the State Audit Office is not yet available, the issue will not be discussed until the end of November.
The supervisory board had switched on the state audit office.
The deal involves an order from the clinic to a company in North Rhine-Westphalia.
One of the company's shareholders is the son of the head of the university clinic, Hans-Jochen Heinze.
The public prosecutor's office has started an investigation after a complaint.
A total of seven people are in the focus, determined for corruption or bribery.
In the course of this, offices were also searched.

Heinze had always emphasized that family connections did not play a role in the award.
In an interim report, the auditors came to the conclusion that "the principles of transparency, non-discrimination and competition were disregarded" when awarding the contract.
According to the assessment of the control authority, however, no findings relevant to criminal law are contained therein.
The company itself does not comment on the deals.
"As a manufacturer and supplier, we are bound by supply contracts with our customers and therefore do not provide any specific information on internal business issues such as inquiries, prices and quantities," said a spokesman.
The company involved was not only active in Magdeburg.
Upon request, the Halle University Hospital announced that the company had been involved in “seven procedures in the course of soliciting tenders”.
The company was awarded the contract in two procedures in 2020, and a total of 298,440 FFP2 protective masks were sold.
There was no exchange with the Magdeburg University Hospital, said a spokesman.
