French prosecutors say they have dismantled a network offering fake coronavirus tests at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.
Seven people have been arrested for providing fake certificates showing negative results for the virus.
It began with a passenger on a flight to Ethiopia, who checked in – as requested – with a certificate saying he was not infected with Covid-19.
That certificate was found to be false, leading to the discovery of seven people, working as luggage-wrappers at the airport, who are alleged to have provided fake certificates to travellers who needed them.
The local deputy prosecutor said 200 fake certificates, bearing the names of real Parisian medical laboratories, were found on the mobile phones of the accused, and would have been sold for between 150 and 300 euros each.
