It offered online, for about 33 euros, a “kit to get infected” with Covid and then be able to obtain, once recovered, the green pass without having to vaccinate. The Dutch media reported this, citing the police.
The man who was arrested, and then released pending the conclusion of the investigation, is accused of selling vials containing, he said, the coronavirus on the Internet, the anti-fraud department of the Dutch finance ministry reported (Fiod ), as reported by The Telegraph. The proposed kit, in addition to a vial that was promised to contain the virus, ‘including its variants’, also included a home test for Covid.
A spokesperson for Fiod told the Dutch news agency Anp that the suspect had in the meantime been released: “Further investigations are needed to see if he actually managed to sell something” but if the case were established it would be “a reprehensible threat to public health“.
The site where the vials were advertised was immediately removed from the network.
