Nurse arrested in Tbilisi for issuing fake COVID-19 vaccination counterfeit card

As a result of operative-searching and investigative activities carried out, representatives of Investigation Service of the Ministry of Finance of Georgia, in coordination with the Kvemo Kartli District Prosecutor’s Office, detained two persons on the fact of manufacturing and selling of forged official documents and commercial bribery, committed by a group of persons.

Investigation determined that the nurse of one of the medical institutions, located in Tbilisi, who used to vaccinate citizens in accordance with her authority, in order to obtain illegal material benefits, together with a person in a criminal connection with her, took 150 GEL from the citizen, in exchange for which she manufactured a “COVID 19” vaccination counterfeit card without performing the appropriate vaccination procedure, as if a citizen had been vaccinated with Pfizer.

At the same time, the accused persons, on the basis of the counterfeit card, registered the citizen in the official database of the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health as a vaccinated person.

Investigation is being continued under the first part of Article 362 and 4th part of Article 221 of Criminal Code of Georgia, which envisages imprisonment for a term of four to six years.
