A supposed doctor of a hospital got hold of corona drugs.

Nuremberg – A mysterious fraud involving drugs to treat corona in a Nuremberg pharmacy is currently occupying the criminal police.

Between January 2 and 12, an alleged doctor from a Nuremberg hospital had ordered a large number of medicines there, but had not paid for them.

Fraud in the pharmacy: a man steals medicines worth 25,000 euros

The stranger stole a total of 1,300 packs of the drug "Paxlovid" worth 25,000 euros, the police said on Monday.

When no payment was later received for the orders, the pharmacy filed a complaint.

The criminal police are investigating, among other things, on suspicion of commercial credit fraud and the misuse of titles.

According to the Bavarian Hospital Society, it is not unusual for hospitals to order medicines from established pharmacies.

Smaller hospitals in particular do not always have their own pharmacy.

A spokesman said that even in the event of shortages of medicines, hospitals could contact established pharmacies.

But in this case, the hospitals would first contact the pharmacy to check whether the medicines were actually available and not send someone over right away.
