Die Grünen dringen auf die Veröffentlichung des internen Untersuchungsberichts zu Maskenbeschaffungen durch Ex-Gesundheitsminister Jens Spahn (CDU). Dieser müsse umgehend dem Bundestag vorgelegt werden, sagte Grünen-Fraktionschefin Britta Haßelmann.

Overview

  • The Sudhoff report was commissioned by former Health Minister Karl Lauterbach and completed in April 2025 but has never been released to parliament.
  • It alleges Jens Spahn awarded a €1.5 billion contract to Münsterland logistics firm Fiege without competitive bidding despite warnings from the Interior Ministry.
  • Members of the government’s COVID-19 crisis team reportedly objected to the Fiege award, but Spahn proceeded regardless.
  • The procurement operation is suspected to have caused billion-euro losses for the federal budget and led to the destruction of large mask stockpiles.
  • Green Party leader Britta Haßelmann called for the immediate and unfiltered submission of the findings to clarify ministerial responsibility.
