The Digos of Palermo arrested a nurse from the Fiera del Mediterraneo vaccination hub for false ideology and embezzlement.
The woman, who also works as a nurse at the Infectious Diseases Department of the “Civico” hospital in Palermo, allegedly pretended to administer the anti-covid vaccine to two No vax spouses. Employee Asp, GC, 58, ended up under house arrest.
According to investigators, in addition to pretending to vaccinate the no vax couple, now under investigation for falsification and embezzlement, he allegedly pretended to have received the booster dose of the vaccine thanks to the complicity of a colleague, already stopped in December, AMLB.
The latter, in exchange for money, according to investigators, allegedly pretended to vaccinate 11 people including a well-known leader of the no vax movement who is now in prison.
The vaccine dose was poured into a square of gauze and then the fake injection was given. Digos continues to investigate to ascertain whether there have been other similar episodes.
“The arrest of another nurse involved in the investigation into fake vaccinations at the Hub of the Palermo Fair is yet another very serious and disconcerting fact, which we stigmatize and condemn and towards which we will be inflexible”. Thus the president of the Order of Nurses of Palermo, Nino Amato. “We have already suspended the first nurse arrested and the other two under investigation for mistreatment in the Castelbuono nursing home and the preparatory procedure for the suspension will also be initiated for the latter,” he adds. Amato announces that the Order of Nurses will be a civil party in these proceedings. “We have acted and will act – he declares – always with the utmost rigor and with every possible tool against those who commit similar crimes and against anyone who damages the image of serious and competent professionals”.
