Berlin: Forged Covid-19 vaccination certificates are appearing in Germany, with the numbers expected to grow, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) affirmed on Saturday. According to local police authorities, in Bavaria alone there have been “a number of cases in the low double-digits,” Duetsche Presse-Angentur news agency reported.
“Compared to other criminal offences of personal and identity documents, the forgery of vaccination certificates is still a minor phenomenon in numerical terms. However, an increase in demand; thus also in the supply of forged vaccination certificates is expected due to the legal relaxations for vaccinated persons,” a BKA spokesman said.
