If the liberal nurse was unknown to justice, her three accomplices had already been convicted in cases related in particular to narcotics.

Still from police sources, the three individuals recovered the contact details of people seeking to obtain a health pass.

They transmitted them to the nurse who then generated a health pass on the health insurance site without having carried out the vaccine.
