What happened
On March 9, 2026 the Berlin General Prosecutor's Office ended its review of more than 170 criminal complaints over Jens Spahn's pandemic mask purchases as health minister, finding no sufficient factual grounds for suspicion of acceptance of benefits or breach of trust. It examined the Sudhof special report and Federal Audit Office findings; the audit office has confirmed 517 million euros in damage from the open-house procedure. FragDenStaat is suing the Federal Health Ministry for documents cited in the Sudhof report, which the ministry withheld citing its legal position in ongoing civil cases.
