The creators and perpetrators of a large green pass scam have been identified. In the field the teams of the IV Department (Fraud and Consumer Protection - Cybercrime) of the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office and the financiers of the Special Unit for the Protection of Privacy and Technological Frauds.

Thanks to the latest generation investigation tools, several citizens in Veneto, Liguria, Puglia and Sicily were identified and searched, administrators of Telegram accounts who promised numerous "customers" to provide authentic Green Passes, equipped with QR codes perfectly suitable to overcome the controls imposed by the regulations.

The authenticity of the certificate was guaranteed by an alleged complicity of health personnel and the users were guaranteed the "satisfied or reimbursed" formula, with a request for payment of the title (100 euros) strictly in cryptocurrencies.

Photographs of identity documents and health cards, reports showing the negativity of nasopharyngeal swabs, false claims of satisfaction from customers for counterfeit Green passes and, above all, chats from which the modus operandi emerges were found on the computer supports of the suspects.
