Overview

• The leaked Sudhof report shows former Health Minister Jens Spahn personally involved in high-cost, non-competitive FFP2 mask contracts and records warnings he received.
• Health Minister Nina Warken says her redactions protected personal data, third-party confidentiality and ongoing legal cases rather than shielding political allies.
• Bündnis 90/Die Grünen and Die Linke have united in calling for a formal Untersuchungsausschuss to secure full access to documents and compel witness testimony.
• The CDU/CSU and SPD oppose a U-Ausschuss and instead propose an Enquete commission to review pandemic measures with external experts but limited investigatory powers.
• Special investigator Margaretha Sudhof is set to appear before the Bundestag’s Budget and Health Committees on July 8 to outline her unredacted findings.
