- Time and again, travelers try their luck with forged vaccination cards.

The federal police recently discovered a Swabian family at Munich Airport.

The teenagers excuse, however, made the officers smile.

Said passengers landed on Tuesday, January 4th, with a plane from Istanbul.

After their arrival, the police checked the passengers' vaccination records.

In the case of a family of four, however, they encountered a small blemish: the vaccination records were forged.

When the border police asked the 17-year-old son the usual questions about the evidence, he did not hesitate and showed the officers his vaccination book.

The content: two Biontech stickers with corresponding stamps and signatures from a vaccination center in Berlin, dated September and October last year.

So everything is fine at first glance.

But when the officers checked the stickers online, there was no positive result.

When asked where exactly the young man had been vaccinated, he became visibly nervous and stuttered at Madame Tussauds.

Further research into the strange statement showed: The 17-year-old was completely unknown to the Berlin health authorities.

He was also not to be found in the registration system.

Now a Turk jumped to the side of the overwhelmed passenger and identified himself as his father.

The Schwabe by choice said that he, his son and his 19-year-old daughter had been vaccinated in the Berlin-Tegel vaccination center.

The mother had not been vaccinated because of health problems and therefore had a certificate of a negative corona test with her.

There was nothing wrong with this document.

However, father and daughter should share the fate of the 17-year-old.

Her personal details and the batch numbers of the vaccine doses allegedly administered to her could not be found in the systems of the Berlin health authorities.

This is not without consequences: the officials took the evidence from the vaccination fraudsters - in addition, the Swabians now expects reports of forgery of documents.
