Police have detained a woman suspected of vaccine fraud. She was reported to have been going from door-to-door in the town of Virolahti, offering purported coronavirus jabs for 150 euros each on Saturday. She was taken into custody on Sunday in the eastern city of Lappeenranta.
The Southeastern Finland Police Department says it does not believe the suspect was in possession of actual Covid-19 vaccine.
