Regional (Hessen) prosecutors have opened up an investigation into 'quickie' Covid tests at these 'stations' around the state.
The accusation? Well....HR tells the basic story. You have a Kassel (sizeable town in north Hessen) Covid test center....which turned in the paperwork to be reimbursed for around a million Euro for the months of April and May.
The prosecution folks say the high number of tests were simply 'faked'. Detained? So far, two folks.
This 'company' also active in other cities? Yes (Hanover and Leipzig are mentioned).
So if they were faked, and a million Euro in the balance....just how many tests are we talking about? Well....around 55,500 fake tests (figuring 18 Euro is the standard cost factor for the 'quickie' centers for each test). You'd basically be saying that two folks running this 'center' were testing around 925 individuals a day, or sixty people every hour of operation....including weekends.
My humble guess is that some of the tests were legit, and some were fake. Proving all of this in court? I think it'll be more difficult than the prosecutor is imagining.
