A nurse was caught ‘injecting’ doses of a Covid vaccine into a tissue before giving patients a faked vaccination pass in a huge scam.
The racket which helped people to get a vaccine passport without ever having to take a dose of the jab was caught by Italian police.
According to investigators there was a network of dozens of scammers who brought people from across Italy to a vaccination centre in Ancona.
There people would pay about £330 for the fake jab before being handed a ‘green pass’ which shows proof that a person has been vaccinated.
One nurse at the Paolinelli sports centre vaccine centre was caught squirting a dose of the vaccine into a rubbish bin before sticking a plaster on to the patient so it looked authentic.
The police unit in Ancona, which is in north east Italy, uncovered people who wanted to avoid having the vaccine before bribing a 51-year-old nurse who ran a vaccination centre.
A video of the fraud shows the nurse and the patient pretending to get the injection when she in fact reaches over and injects the contents of the syringe into a bin.
The nurse was later arrested and put into preventive custody, while four people including a 53-old-lawyer from Ancona who acted as intermediaries for the scam were placed under house arrest.
Police are investigating about 50 people as part of their operation, which was launched in December last year, and they have been ordered not to leave the region and to present themselves on a daily basis to the local force.
