An investigation that lasted for several months resulted in Martinique police arresting several people, including health professionals in connection with the sale of fake covid-19 vaccine certificates.
According to a report from the St. Lucia Times, the accused are scheduled to appear before court in Fort de France to answer charges that they sold fake covid-19 certificates to unvaccinated people.
Reports state that the certificates fetched some 350 Euros each.
The accused faces up to at least 3 years in prison and a fine of 45, 000 Euros on conviction.
A local news media in Martinique disclosed that doctors have been warned about the dangers of using false health passes, particularly in the event of hospitalization, explaining that the care of covid-19 patients differs depending on the vaccination status.
