So far there has only been speculation, now the Bremen public prosecutor has presented the first evidence in the Markus Anfang case.
The investigations have shown that the information in the vaccination certificate of the former SV Werder Bremen coach is incorrect.
Markus Anfang
has now been represented by a lawyer - and he has already asked to inspect the files.
As expected, an investigation was also initiated
against the initial assistant coach
Florian Junge
on Monday afternoon.
For organizational reasons that was no longer possible on Friday.
As at the beginning of Friday evening, Junge had announced his resignation.
For both of them, the
Werder Bremen
chapter
ended after just a few months, and their contracts were terminated.
Vaccination scandal at SV Werder Bremen: Evidence against former coach Markus Anfang is overwhelming
From a legal point of view, however, the story is just getting started.
The evidence against
Markus Anfang
is overwhelming.
According to the vaccination card, both vaccinations of the 47-year-old ex-trainer from
Werder Bremen
are said to
have been carried out in the Cologne vaccination center.
But the beginning definitely didn't get any spades there.
"The North Rhine
National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians
, which is responsible for the Cologne vaccination center, has informed us that no data from Mr. Anfang has been recorded in the IT system," said
Senior
Public Prosecutor Frank Passade when
asked by
the
DeichStube
* with.
In addition, the batch number of the first vaccination was never vaccinated and the number of the second vaccination did not match the date entered in the initial vaccination certificate.
Therefore, the public prosecutor assumes a forgery of the vaccination card.
The date entries for the vaccinations also speak for this.
They should be in April and July.
Shortly after
starting work
at
Werder Bremen in
mid-June
,
Markus Anfang
stated that he had not yet been vaccinated.
In August he was still considered to be unvaccinated and even had to be briefly quarantined because a player had tested positive.
An employee of the health department probably remembered this when he checked all of the green and white vaccinations in the course of the latest Corona case at Werder (Marco Friedl).
Beginning had one of those in the meantime, albeit with false information.
Vaccination fraud at Werder Bremen: What punishment does ex-coach Markus Anfang face?
Markus Anfang
himself has not yet been heard.
As a rule, after inspecting the files, lawyers decide whether to let their mandate testify.
As a suspect, Anfang is not obliged to do so.
It remains to be seen whether there will be an indictment and then a main hearing.
In the case of an admission of guilt, there is also the option of discontinuing the proceedings in return for a payment.
A penalty order with a fine and a suspended sentence is also possible.
Both would
save
the former
SV Werder Bremen
coach from going to
court.
