Members of the Financial Administration's Criminal Office (KUFS) on Thursday seized accounting records from 23 companies that ran COVID-19 mobile testing facilities (MOMs) during the 2020-23 pandemic. Financial Administration spokesperson Daniel Sukup explained that the operation was conducted due to suspicions of tax violations committed in the running of these facilities as well as racketeering with antigen tests.
The Supreme Audit Authority found shortcomings in the financing and running of MOMs during the pandemic. According to its head Lubomir Andrassy, the Public Health Office ordered in late 2023 the deletion of data concerning MOMs. The Office claims it never ordered the deletion, pointing out that data has been left in the My e-Health database. The Public Health Office also underlined that it never collected data on the financing of MOMs.
