This is being reported very quietly indeed, but over two thousand of the "elite" in Spain have faked their Covid-19 vaccinations.
Spanish police have dismantled a criminal network that sold fake COVID-19 vaccination certificates, El Periodico reports. Among those on its client list, totaling over 2,200 names, is José María Fernández Sousa-Faro, president of pharmaceutical giant PharmaMar.
According to authorities, the 76-year-old businessman employed the service so that the National Vaccination Registry would show he had taken the third dose. At a price somewhere between €1000 and €2000 (a ‘VIP fee’), it enabled him to evade governmental strictures on travel. Relatives are claimed to have followed his lead. According to sources connected to the case, Sousa-Faro will soon be summoned to present himself in court.
