Corona test fraud: two men condemned-millions smoke!

In a number of scandalous fraud cases related to Corona tests, two men have now been sentenced to long prison terms. A 39-year-old Berliner received a punishment of four and a half years from the Berlin Regional Court after setting huge sums for false tests in his four test centers. According to rbb24 , it was demonstrated that he made incorrect bills between April 2021 and March 2022 in order to make almost four million euros. The man stated that he made the financial problems and losses in gambling to open the fraudulent test centers.

In the meantime, the Mannheim district court condemned a 34-year-old man to three years and eight months in prison for a similar fraud. According to SWR , this not carried out tested tests, which caused damage of around 1.7 million euros. The court found that during the pandemic he took advantage of the need for test centers to run his illegal game with the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. His personal lifestyle, which included drugs and women, benefited significantly from the illegal income.

legal consequences and criminal record

In both cases, the public prosecutor's office was faced with enormous number of fraud, which are due to the systematic exploitation of the test centers during pandemic. While the 39-year-old acted in Berlin and the 34-year-old in Mannheim, the hunt for Corona tests was a lucrative business, which apparently attracted numerous criminals. Previous judgments have already shown in Mannheim that such fraud stitches are not an isolated case, but point out a bigger problem within the industry.
