Investigation into Jens Spahn's Pandemic Mask Purchases Closed Without ChargesThe legal inquiry into the conduct of Jens Spahn, former German Health Minister and current leader of the parliamentary group of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), regarding large-scale face mask procurements during the COVID-19 pandemic has concluded with no charges filed. Due to Spahn's parliamentary immunity as a Bundestag member, the complaints were initially treated as review cases. Despite these critiques, the legal review concluded that the available documentation and circumstances did not substantiate the suspicion of criminal wrongdoing on Spahn's part. The investigation also referenced previous cases related to questionable mask deals during the pandemic. Additionally, ongoing court proceedings in Munich involve a defendant accused of evading nearly twelve million euros in taxes through mask sales.
